    Widespread release of dissolved organic carbon from anoxic boreal lake sediments2017In: Inland Waters, ISSN 2044-2041, E-ISSN 2044-205X, Vol. 7, no 2, p. 151-163Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Sediments in boreal lakes are important components of the carbon cycle because they receive and store large amounts of organic carbon (OC) and at the same time are a source of greenhouse gases. Under anoxic conditions, sediment OC can be lost through dissolution from the solid phase and subsequent diffusion to the water column. Although this process may have implications for sediment OC budgets, it has yet to be studied systematically. We combined laboratory sediment incubation experiments from 4 boreal lakes in central Sweden that differed widely in their biogeochemical conditions with data from the Swedish monitoring program covering >100 lakes to analyze the frequency of occurrence of sediment DOC loss in boreal lakes and identify lake characteristics and the conditions related to high DOC fluxes from anoxic sediments. We found DOC diffusion from anoxic sediments in all the anoxic sediment incubations but at different mean rates (0.7-3.7 mmol m(-2) d(-1)). Similarly, 16 of 17 of the monitoring lakes that developed anoxic bottom water exhibited an increase in bottom-water DOC concentration, corresponding to a mean (and standard deviation) DOC diffusion flux from anoxic sediment of 11.1 (35.4) mmol m(-2) d(-1). The observed variability between lakes was related to particularly large DOC fluxes in humic-rich lakes, which we attribute to their low pH and high share of terrestrial OC favoring the formation of OC-iron aggregates. Accordingly, increasing pH might facilitate the dissolution of sediment OC because high dissolved OC fluxes from anoxic sediments were accompanied by high microbial iron and sulfate reduction, resulting in concomitant pH increase.

    Enhanced carbon loss from anoxic lake sediment through diffusion of dissolved organic carbon2016In: Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences, ISSN 2169-8953, E-ISSN 2169-8961, Vol. 121, no 7, p. 1959-1977Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Lakes are highly relevant players in the global carbon cycle as they can store large amounts of organic carbon (OC) in sediments, thereby removing OC from the actively cycling pool. However, sediment OC can be released to pore water under anoxic conditions and diffuse into the water column. In carbon budgets of lake ecosystems, this potential OC loss pathway from sediments is generally disregarded. Combining field observations and incubation experiments, we quantitatively investigated dissolved OC (DOC) diffusion from sediments into anoxic water of a boreal lake. We observed substantial increases of bottom water DOC (26% in situ, 16% incubation), translating into a DOC flux from the sediment that was comparable to anoxic sediment respiration (3.3 versus 5.1mmolm(-2)d(-1)). Optical characterization indicated that colored and aromatic DOC was preferentially released. Reactivity assays showed that DOC released from anoxic sediment enhanced water column respiration and flocculation in reoxygenated water. Upon water oxygenation, flocculation was the most important loss pathway removing similar to 77% of released DOC, but the remaining similar to 23% was mineralized, constituting a pathway of permanent loss of sediment OC. DOC diffusion from lake sediment during anoxia and subsequent mineralization in oxic water during mixing increases overall OC loss from anoxic sediments by similar to 15%. This study enlarges our understanding of lake ecosystems by showing that under anoxic conditions significant amounts of DOC can be released from OC stored in sediments and enter the active aquatic carbon cycle again.

    High variability in iron-bound organic carbon among five boreal lake sediments2018In: Biogeochemistry, ISSN 0168-2563, E-ISSN 1573-515X, Vol. 139, no 1, p. 19-29Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Being both stable carbon sinks and greenhouse gas sources, boreal lake sediments represent significant players in carbon (C) cycling. The release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) into anoxic water is a widespread phenomenon in boreal lakes with impact on sediment C budgets. The association of OC with iron (Fe) is assumed to play an important role for this anoxic OC release via the dissimilatory reduction of Fe, but also to influence the stabilization of OC in sediments. To investigate the role of Fe–OC association for OC dynamics in different boreal lake sediments, we compared the content of Fe-bound OC [Fe–OC, defined as citrate bicarbonate dithionite (CBD) extractable OC] and the extent of reductive dissolution of solid-phase Fe and OC at anoxia. We found high among-lake variability in Fe–OC content, and while the amount of Fe–OC was high in three of the lakes (980–1920 µmol g−1), the overall contribution of Fe–OC to the sediment OC pool in all study lakes was not higher than 11%. No linkages between the amount of the Fe–OC pool and lake or sediment characteristics (e.g., pH, DOC concentration, sediment OC content, C:N ratio) could be identified. The observed release of OC from anoxic sediment may be derived from dissolution of Fe–OC in the lake sediments with high Fe–OC, but in other lake sediments, OC release during anoxia exceeded the sediment Fe–OC pool, indicating low contribution of reductive Fe dissolution to OC release from these lake sediments. The range of the investigated boreal lakes reflects the high variability in the size of the sediment Fe–OC pool (0–1920 µmol g−1) and CBD-extractable Fe (123–4050 µmol g−1), which was not mirrored in the extent of reductive dissolution of Fe (18.9–84.6 µmol g−1) and OC (1080–1700 µmol g−1) during anoxia, suggesting that Fe-bound OC may play a minor role for sediment OC release in boreal lakes. However, studies of redox-related OC cycling in boreal lake sediments should consider that the amount of Fe–OC can be high in some lakes.

    Temporal control on concentration, character and export of dissolved organic carbon in two hemiboreal headwater streams draining contrasting catchments2015In: Journal of Geophysical Research - Biogeosciences, ISSN 2169-8953, E-ISSN 2169-8961, Vol. 120, no 5, p. 832-846Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Although lateral carbon (C) export from terrestrial to aquatic systems is known to be an important component in landscape C balances, most existing global studies are lacking empirical data on the soil C export. In this study, the concentration, character, and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were studied during 2 years in two hemiboreal headwater streams draining catchments with different soil characteristics (mineral versus peat soils). The streams exposed surprisingly similar strong air temperature controls on the temporal variability in DOC concentration in spite of draining such different catchments. The temporal variability in DOC character (determined by absorbance metrics, specific ultraviolet absorbance 254 (SUVA254) as a proxy for aromaticity and a254/a365 ratio as a proxy for mean molecular weight) was more complex but related to stream discharge. While the two streams showed similar ranges and patterns in SUVA254, we found a significant difference in median a254/a354, suggesting differences in the DOC character. Both streams responded similarly to hydrological changes with higher a254/a365 at higher discharge, although with rather small differences in a254/a365 between base flow and high flow (<0.3). The DOC exports (9.6–25.2 g C m−2 yr−1) were among the highest reported so far for Scandinavia and displayed large interannual and intraannual variability mainly driven by irregular precipitation/discharge patterns. Our results show that air temperature and discharge affect the temporal variability in DOC quantity and character in different ways. This will have implications for the design of representative sampling programs, which in turn will affect the reliability of future estimates of landscape C budgets.
