High carbon emissions from thermokarst lakes of Western Siberia
The Western Siberia Lowland (WSL) is the world’s largest frozen peatland complex, however carbon emissions (CO2+CH4) from lakes in this region remain unknown. Here, the authors sample 76 lakes and show high carbon emissions from lakes across all permafrost zones in the WSL.
