Understanding the geochemical linkages between ice, land, and marine environments is crucial for comprehending the effects of amplified cryosphere-biosphere interactions on marine ecosystems. To assess dissolved organic carbon (DOC) geochemistry along Greenland's west coast, we characterized and collected water samples at twelve near-shore stations, at depths of 5 and 50 m, in four key areas: Nuuk, Davis Strait, Disko Bay, and the Uummannaq fjord system, focusing on DOC as it represents the largest pool of organic carbon in the ocean. Analysis of DOC concentration, molecular composition, ¹³C, and ¹⁴C alongside measurements of water temperature, salinity, and stable isotopic composition, revealed that: (a) water masses were predominantly ocean water, albeit with substantial freshwater components, particularly in the most glaciated region. (b) DOC ages range from approximately 1,589 to 2,450 cal BP. (c) Despite exhibiting the greatest freshening, the Uummannaq fjord system surprisingly contained the oldest DOC among all sites. This unexpected observation is postulated to be linked to inputs of ancient carbon from discharge from marine-terminating glaciers. Our findings underscore the potential influence of spatially heterogeneous inputs of new terrestrial sources of DOC, particularly ancient permafrost-derived carbon, to the Arctic carbon cycle especially as glacial melt intensifies in the future. Furthermore, our study provides valuable insights into the age and composition of DOC exported from west Greenland into the adjoining marine system.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JG008705","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144598606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we quantified the effects of salinity and moisture on CO₂ and CH₄ fluxes from low-Arctic coastal soils from three landscape positions (two Wetlands and Upland Tundra) distinguished by elevation, flooding frequency, soil characteristics, and vegetation. We used a full factorial laboratory incubation experiment of three soil moisture levels (40%, 70%, or 100% saturation) and four salinity levels (freshwater, 3, 6, or 12 ppt). Salinity and soil moisture were important controls on CO₂ and CH₄ emissions across all landscape positions. In saturated soil, CO₂ emissions increased with salinity in the lower elevation landscape positions but not in the Upland Tundra soil. Saturated soil was necessary for large CH₄ emissions. CH₄ emissions were greatest with low salinity, or after 11 weeks of incubation when SO₄²⁻ was exhausted allowing for methanogenesis as the dominant mechanism of anaerobic respiration. In partially saturated soil, greater salinity suppressed CO₂ production in all soils. CH₄ fluxes were overall quite low, but increased between 3 and 6 ppt in the Tundra.

However, the models used to relate brGDGT distributions to temperature vary widely (e.g., global vs. regional vs. site-specific, differing subsets of brGDGTs, and brGDGT-based indices), leading to inconsistencies in their application and inaccurate temperature predictions in some locations. Using previously published lacustrine and soil brGDGT distributions, we determined whether the type of temperature data used for model calibration (i.e., in situ vs. modeled air temperatures) influences the degree to which temperature relates to brGDGT distributions and therefore the fidelity with which brGDGT-based indices (i.e., MBT′_5ME) may predict temperature. Accounting for differences in the number of samples among lake surface sediment and soil sample data sets, we find that the impact of temperature on brGDGT distribution significantly varies depending on both the temperature and sample data set used, with the most pronounced effects observed in lake surface sediment samples. Similarly, the MBT′_5ME index shows varied correlations with temperature across different temperature and sample data sets. These findings suggest that other factors influence brGDGT distributions to a greater degree than temperature in some locations and that these effects are obscured when samples are combined into global data sets. This insight helps to explain why global brGDGT-based calibration models may not accurately predict temperatures at specific locations and underscores the need for targeted (e.g., cluster-based, regional, or site-specific) temperature calibration models.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JG008506","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we provide the first comprehensive study, quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in grazed and non-grazed German salt marshes. In Germany, salt marshes are found along the low-energy, microtidal coastline of the Baltic Sea as organogenic ecosystems and along the high-energy, mesotidal coastlines of the North Sea as minerogenic ecosystems. One-meter soil cores were taken across 14 sites covering three distinct salt marsh types: Baltic Sea, North Sea mainland, and North Sea island. Baltic salt marshes held on average the greatest SOC stocks with 221 ± 56.3 (mean ± SE) Mg SOC/ha followed by North Sea mainland salt marshes with 187 ± 24.9 Mg SOC/ha and North Sea island salt marshes with 78 ± 9 Mg SOC/ha. Our findings indicate that livestock grazing resulted in a 1.5-fold increase in SOC density. The microtidal Baltic salt marshes store more SOC in their topsoil than mesotidal North Sea salt marshes, most likely due to the higher sediment deposition rates in North Sea mainland salt marshes causing SOC dilution through mineral inputs. We conclude greater aeration in high-marsh soils might counterbalance SOC accumulation under proceeding succession. Positive livestock grazing effects were relatively consistent within North Sea salt marshes, likely caused by trampling-induced changes in soil biogeochemistry. By contrast, grazing had variable effects on SOC in Baltic Sea salt marshes, with belowground plant productivity identified as the primary driver.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2025JG008797","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144558135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following a large 2020 wildfire in Oregon, USA, we collected water samples to quantify dissolved organic carbon and DOM optical properties at 129 stream sites across the fire-affected stream network. Sampling was repeated across seasonal hydrologic conditions to capture variation in hydrologic pathways and organic matter sources. We developed a PARAFAC model using excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) and used spatial stream network (SSN) models to determine how DOM composition changed across the stream network with burn severity. The greatest shifts in DOM composition were observed during the dry and wetting seasons, with an increase in aromatic DOM at higher burn severities. In contrast, an increase in protein-like DOM was observed during the wet season at higher burn severities. Drainage area, 31-day and 1-day antecedent precipitation, and baseflow index impacted the relationship between DOM composition and burn severity, which could partially explain the variability in post-fire DOM responses.
