Short summary
Peatlands are complex and widespread ecosystems that store large amounts of carbon through photosynthesis. Carbon fixation depends on solar irradiance, and the relationship between them is called the photosynthesis-irradiance or “PI” curve. We developed a simple, portable chamber to measure PI curves in peatlands, taking into account complex plant assemblages and microhabitat variability. This tool may help scientists better understand carbon dynamics in these ecosystems.

Short summary
Thermokarst lakes have formed over thousands of years from permafrost thaw in the Arctic. Here we quantify the change in methane production rates as thermokarst lakes evolve by incubation-based approach of measuring and comparing methane production rates and organic carbon lability between a more mature thermokarst lake and a young dynamic thermokarst lake. We also show the use of Rock-Eval analysis of organic carbon along the sediments as a proxy for organics susceptibility for methanogenesis.

Short summary
Methane (CH4) emissions from the boreal–Arctic region are globally significant, but the current magnitude of annual emissions is not well defined. Here we present a dataset of surface CH4 fluxes from northern wetlands, lakes, and uplands that was built alongside a compatible land cover dataset, sharing the same classifications. We show CH4 fluxes can be split by broad land cover characteristics. The dataset is useful for comparison against new field data and model parameterization or validation.

Short summary
Short summary
Our new database summarizes DOC concentrations of 2167 water samples from 1833 lakes in permafrost regions across the Arctic to provide insights into linkages between DOC and environment. We found increasing lake DOC concentration with decreasing permafrost extent and higher DOC concentrations in boreal permafrost sites compared to tundra sites. Our study shows that DOC concentration depends on the environmental properties of a lake, especially permafrost extent, ecoregion, and vegetation.

Short summary
Methane (CH4) seepage is the steady or episodic flow of gaseous hydrocarbons from subsurface reservoirs that has been identified as a significant source of atmospheric CH4. The monitoring of these emissions is important and despite several available methods, large macroseeps are still difficult to measure due to a lack of a lightweight and inexpensive method deployable in remote environments. Here, we report the development of a mobile chamber for measuring intense CH4 macroseepage in lakes.
