The Contribution Of Fe (Iii) And Humic Acid Reduction To Ecosystem Respiration In Drained Thaw Lake Basins Of The Arctic Coastal Plain, David A. Lipson, Ted K. Raab, Dominic Goria, Jaime Zlamal

Ted K. Raab

Previous research showed that anaerobic respiration using iron (Fe) oxides as terminal electron acceptor contributed substantially to ecosystem respiration (ER) in a drained thaw lake basin (DTLB) on the Arctic coastal plain. As DTLB age, the surface organic layer thickens, progressively burying the Fe-rich mineral layers. We therefore hypothesized that Fe (III) availability and Fe reduction would decline with basin age. We studied four DTLB across an age gradient, comparing seasonal changes in the oxidation state of dissolved and extractable Fe pools and the estimated contribution of Fe reduction to ER. The organic layer thickness did not strictly increase with …
