Increasing dominance of terrigenous organic matter in circumpolar freshwaters due to permafrost thaw

Abstract Climate change and permafrost thaw are unlocking the vast storage of organic carbon held in northern frozen soils. Here, we evaluated the effects of thawing ice‐rich permafrost on dissolved organic matter (DOM) in freshwaters by optical analysis of 253 ponds across the circumpolar North. Fo...
