New organic matter degradation proxies: Valid in lake systems? [PDF]
We determined concentrations and diagenetic state of organic matter in two cores from Lake Zug, Switzerland. To obtain a general picture of organic matter decay in the lake, we measured bulk parameters such as total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and ...

Optical properties and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter along a flow-path continuum from soil pore waters to the Kolyma River mainstem, East Siberia [PDF]
The Kolyma River in northeast Siberia is among the six largest Arctic rivers and drains a region underlain by vast deposits of Holocene-aged peat and Pleistocene-aged loess known as yedoma, most of which is currently stored in ice-rich permafrost ...

Aggregates reduce transport distance of soil organic carbon: are our balances correct? [PDF]
The effect of soil erosion on global carbon cycling, especially as a source or sink for greenhouse gases, has been the subject of intense debate. The controversy arises mostly from the lack of information on the fate of eroded soil organic carbon (SOC ...

Biodegradability of dissolved organic carbon in permafrost soils and aquatic systems: A meta-analysis [PDF]
As Arctic regions warm and frozen soils thaw, the large organic carbon pool stored in permafrost becomes increasingly vulnerable to decomposition or transport.

Large amounts of labile organic carbon in permafrost soils of northern
AbstractPermafrost‐affected soils of the northern circumpolar region represent 50% of the terrestrial soil organic carbon (SOC) reservoir and are most strongly affected by climatic change. There is growing concern that this vast SOC pool could transition from a net C sink to a source.

Labile forms of carbon and soil aggregates
Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in the soil aggregation and vice versa, its incorporation into the soil aggregates is one of the mechanisms of soil organic carbon stabilization.

Effect of Biochar on Labile Organic Carbon Fractions and Soil Carbon Pool Management Index
Biochar is useful for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, the effects of biochar aging and addition rates on SOC stabilization are unclear. A field experiment with four biochar application rates (0% (control), 1% (LB), 2% (MB), and 4% (HB) of dry fluvo-aquic soil) was conducted.

Warming and Labile Substrate Addition Alter Enzyme Activities and Composition of Soil Organic Carbon
Warming can increase the efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soils and can potentially feedback to climate change. In addition to warming, the input of labile carbon can enhance the microbial activity by stimulating the co-metabolism of recalcitrant soil

Sample storage-induced changes in the quantity and quality of soil labile organic carbon. [PDF]
AbstractEffects of sample storage methods on the quantity and quality of labile soil organic carbon are not fully understood even though their effects on basic soil properties have been extensively studied. We studied the effects of air-drying and frozen storage on cold and hot water soluble organic carbon (WSOC).
