英文摘要 | Climate change is rapidly altering hydrological processes and consequently the structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems. Predicting how these alterations will shape biogeochemical responses in rivers remains a major challenge. We measured [C]arbon and [N]itrogen concentrations continuously from two Arctic watersheds capturing a wide range of flow conditions to assess understudied event-scale C and N concentration-discharge (C-Q) behavior and post-event recovery of stoichiometric conditions. The watersheds represent low-gradient, tundra landscapes typical of the eastern Brooks Range on the North Slope of Alaska and are part of the Arctic Long-Term Ecological Research sites: the Kuparuk River and Oksrukuyik Creek. In both watersheds, we deployed high-frequency optical sensors to measure dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrate (NO3-), and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) for five consecutive thaw seasons (2017-2021). Our analyses revealed a lag in DOC:NO3- stoichiometric recovery after a hydrologic perturbation: while DOC was consistently elevated after high flows, NO3- diluted during rainfall events and consequently, recovery in post-event concentration was delayed. Conversely, the co-enrichment of TDN at high flows, even in watersheds with relatively high N-demand, represents a potential leak of hydrologically available organic N to downstream ecosystems. Our use of high-frequency, long-term optical sensors provides an improved method to estimate carbon and nutrient budgets and stoichiometric recovery behavior across event and seasonal timescales, enabling new insights and conceptualizations of a changing Arctic, such as assessing ecosystem disturbance and recovery across multiple timescales. |
