The role of terrestrial productivity in regulating aquatic dissolved organic carbon concentrations in boreal catchments
<p>The past decades have witnessed an increase in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in the catchments of the Northern Hemisphere. Increases in terrestrial productivity may be a reason for the increases in DOC concentration. The aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of increased terrestrial productivity and changed hydrology following climate change on DOC concentrations. We tested and quantified the effects of gross primary production (GPP), ecosystem respiration (RE) and discharge on DOC concentrations in boreal catchments over three years. As catchment characteristics can regulate the extent of rising DOC concentrations caused by the regional or global environmental changes, we selected four catchments with different sizes (small, medium and large) and landscapes (forest, mire and forest-mire mixed). We applied multiple models: Wavelet coherence analysis detected the delay-effects of terrestrial productivity and discharge on aquatic DOC variations of boreal catchments; thereafter, the distributed-lag linear models (DLMs) quantified the contributions of each factor on DOC variations. Our results showed that the combined impacts of terrestrial productivity and discharge explained 62% of aquatic DOC variations on average across all sites, whereas discharge, GPP and RE accounted for 26%, 22% and 3%, respectively. GPP dominated the DOC variations in small catchments (<1 km<sup>2</sup>), but in large catchments, DOC variations were mainly dependent on discharge. The direction of the relation between GPP and discharge on DOC varied. Increasing RE always made a positive contribution to DOC concentration. This study demonstrated that terrestrial greening and changing hydrology caused by climate change did affect the DOC export from terrestrial to aquatic ecosystems, which improves the mechanistic understanding of surface water DOC regulation in boreal catchments under climate change.</p>

Soil dissolved organic carbon in terrestrial ecosystems: global budget, spatial distribution and controls
<p><strong>Aims: </strong>Soil dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a primary form of labile carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and therefore plays a vital role in soil carbon cycling. This study aims to quantify the budgets of soil DOC at biome- and global levels and to examine the variations in soil DOC and their environmental controls. Location: Global Time period: 1981 - 2019 Method: We compiled a global dataset and analyzed the concentration and distribution of DOC across 10 biomes.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Large variations in DOC are found among biomes across space and the soil DOC concentration declines exponentially along soil depths. Tundra has the highest soil DOC concentration in 0 - 30 cm soils (453.75 (95% confidence interval: 324.95 – 633.5) mg·kg-1); whereas tropical and temperate forests have relatively lower DOC concentrations, ranging from 30.20 (24.78 - 36.80) mg·kg-1 to 54.54 (49.77 – 59.77) mg·kg-1. DOC generally accounts for < 1% of total organic carbon in soils, and DOC in 0 - 30 cm contributes more than half of total DOC in 0 - 100 cm soil profile. Furthermore, variations in DOC are primarily controlled by soil texture, moisture, and total organic carbon.</p> <p><strong>Main conclusion: </strong>A global synthesis is combined with an empirical model to extrapolate the DOC concentration along soil profiles across the globe, and global budgets of DOC are estimated as 7.20 Pg C in top 0 - 30 cm and 12.97 Pg C in 0 - 100 cm, respectively, with a considerable variation among biomes. The strong soil texture control but weak TOC control on DOC variations suggest that the investigation of physical protection of soil organic carbon might need to expand to consider the labile C in soils. The global maps of DOC concentration serve as a benchmark for validating land surface models in estimating carbon storage in soils.</p>
Benthic macroinvertebrates of 63 northern Finnish streams along a dissolved organic carbon gradient
<p>Concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have increased over the past few decades, causing freshwater browning. The impacts of browning on biodiversity have been little studied, despite many of the individual stressors associated with browning being known to control freshwater communities. We explored the responses of benthic invertebrates along a wide gradient of DOC concentrations (3.6 mg to 27 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) in 63 boreal streams variously impacted by peatland drainage or peat production. DOC was a prime determinant of macroinvertebrate diversity and abundance, with the strongest negative response in algal scrapers. Threshold indicator taxa analysis indicated a community change at 12-13 mg DOC L<sup>-1</sup>, with only four taxa increasing, while 13 taxa decreased along the DOC gradient. Our findings of both a gradual loss and an abrupt change of biodiversity along a browning gradient provide a benchmark against which changes to stream biodiversity relative to the predicted browning trend can be gauged.</p>
Dataset for: Indirect nitrous oxide emission factors of fluvial networks can be predicted by dissolved organic carbon and nitrate from local to global scales
<p>Streams and rivers are important sources of nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Estimating global riverine N<sub>2</sub>O emissions is critical for the assessment of anthropogenic N<sub>2</sub>O emission inventories. The indirect N<sub>2</sub>O emission factor (EF<sub>5r</sub>) model, one of the bottom-up approaches, adopts a fixed EF<sub>5r</sub> value to estimate riverine N<sub>2</sub>O emissions based on IPCC methodology. However, the estimates have considerable uncertainty due to the large spatiotemporal variations in EF<sub>5r</sub> values. Factors regulating EF<sub>5r</sub> are poorly understood at the global scale. Here, we combine 4-year in situ observations across rivers of different land use types in China, with a global meta-analysis over six continents, to explore the spatiotemporal variations and controls on EF<sub>5r</sub> values. Our results show that the EF<sub>5r</sub> values in China and other regions with high N loads are lower than those for regions with lower N loads. Although the global mean EF<sub>5r</sub> value is comparable to the IPCC default value, the global EF<sub>5r</sub> values are highly skewed with large variations, indicating that adopting region-specific EF<sub>5r</sub> values rather than revising the fixed default value is more appropriate for the estimation of regional and global riverine N<sub>2</sub>O emissions. The ratio of dissolved organic carbon to nitrate (DOC/NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>) and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> concentration are identified as the dominant predictors of region-specific EF<sub>5r</sub> values at both regional and global scales because stoichiometry and nutrients strictly regulate denitrification and N<sub>2</sub>O production efficiency in rivers. A multiple linear regression model using DOC/NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> is proposed to predict region-specific EF<sub>5r</sub> values. The good fit of the model associated with easily obtained water quality variables allows its widespread application. This study fills a key knowledge gap in predicting region-specific EF<sub>5r</sub> values at the global scale and provides a pathway to estimate global riverine N<sub>2</sub>O emissions more accurately based on IPCC methodology.</p> <p>This dataset is a global integrated N<sub>2</sub>O dataset including data from 4-year (2017-2020) in situ measurements of six large rivers in China, 3-year (2018-2020) in situ measurements of urban river networks in Beijing of China, and 825 measurements from 70 published papers over six continents. The data includes dissolved N<sub>2</sub>O concentration, biogeochemical (DOC, NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>, NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>, temperature, and DO), climatological (climate zones), and geographic (region, location, and land cover) information.</p>
