Arctic Lakes and Streams as Gas Conduits to the Atmosphere: Implications for Tundra Carbon Budgets
Abstract
Arctic tundra has large amounts of stored carbon and is thought to be a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) (0.1 to 0.3 petagram of carbon per year) (1 petagram = 10 15 grams). But this estimate of carbon balance is only for terrestrial ecosystems. Measurements of the partial pressure of CO 2 in 29 aquatic ecosystems across arctic Alaska showed that in most cases (27 of 29) CO 2 was released to the atmosphere. This CO 2 probably originates in terrestrial environments; erosion of particulate carbon plus ground-water transport of dissolved carbon from tundra contribute to the CO 2 flux from surface waters to the atmosphere. If this mechanism is typical of that of other tundra areas, then current estimates of the arctic terrestrial sink for atmospheric CO 2 may be 20 percent too high.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
