Sizable carbon emission from the floodplain of Ob River

The Ob River floodplain is the second largest floodplain in the world. Despite its vast area, estimates of carbon (C) emissions from the Ob River floodplain are largely absent. Here we present seasonal C emission and water area extent from the main channel and the floodplain along a ~4 km reach in t...

Sizable carbon emission from the floodplain of Ob River
description The Ob River floodplain is the second largest floodplain in the world. Despite its vast area, estimates of carbon (C) emissions from the Ob River floodplain are largely absent. Here we present seasonal C emission and water area extent from the main channel and the floodplain along a ~4 km reach in the boreal zone of the Ob River. We found strong seasonality in water area extent of the Ob main channel (~1.8 km2) and floodplain (~3 km2) with water covering 34% of land during flood and subsequently declining to ~16% and ~14% during summer and autumn baseflow, respectively. The C emissions also varied seasonally over the open water period, ranging from −0.1 to 0.6 g C m−2 d−1 for the Ob main channel and from 0 to 9 g C m−2 d−1 for the floodplain. The dissolved organic carbon positively affected CO2 concentrations and fluxes in the floodplain during all seasons, whereas pH and oxygen concentration negatively impacted CO2 concentrations and fluxes. Some nutrients (ammonia and phosphate) positively correlated with CO2 and CH4 concentrations in summer.
