![Page 20: Inland waters as key components of the C balance in ... · Inland waters as key components of the C balance in Northern landscapes ... in Carbon Biogeochemistry in Boreal Aquatic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd1f61d7c680f728f1f747a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Part of the terrestrial OC will sediment and be buried in lake sediments
• Part will be mineralized and will generate a CO2 (and CH4) outflux in lakes and rives
• Part will reach the oceans
This lateral export of DOC represents a loss
of terrestrial NEP to the aquatic
component: Its fate matters

2 to 14 g C m-2 yr-1
Range of C accumulation rates in boreal lakes in Québec
![Page 24: Inland waters as key components of the C balance in ... · Inland waters as key components of the C balance in Northern landscapes ... in Carbon Biogeochemistry in Boreal Aquatic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd1f61d7c680f728f1f747a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2 to 14 g C m-2 yr-1
Expressed per unit watershed area, these lake C burial rates amount to 1 to 5 g C m-2 y-1
Long-term soil C accumulation ranges from 2 to 10 g C m-2 y-1 in these landscapes
This is overwhelmingy soil-derived organic matter
![Page 25: Inland waters as key components of the C balance in ... · Inland waters as key components of the C balance in Northern landscapes ... in Carbon Biogeochemistry in Boreal Aquatic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd1f61d7c680f728f1f747a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2 to 14 g C m-2 yr-1
Expressed per unit watershed area, these lake C burial rates amount to 1 to 5 g C m-2 y-1
In these lake-rich boreal regions, C buried in lakes may amount to 25 to over 50% of long-
term soil C accumulation
This is overwhelmingy soil-derived organic matter
![Page 26: Inland waters as key components of the C balance in ... · Inland waters as key components of the C balance in Northern landscapes ... in Carbon Biogeochemistry in Boreal Aquatic](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071018/5fd1f61d7c680f728f1f747a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
2 to 14 g C m-2 yr-1
These sediments accumulate and preserve large amounts of terrestrial NEP, and are
therefore an extension of soils
This is overwhelmingy soil-derived organic matter

• These aquatic components are unquestionably
significant from a whole landscape C sink/source
perspective, particularly in the boreal biome
• Yet these aquatic components are still poorly integrated into landscape budgets
• There is still confusion as to how and when to
incorporate these aquatic components into soil,
peat and forest C models and budgets
