Table 2. Estimates of areas and soil organic carbon storage within the overall study region and in each thermokarst landscape type.
Study region | Wetland thermokarst landscape | Lake thermokarst landscape | Hillslope thermokarst landscape | Non-thermokarst landscape | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Area (106 km2) | 18.41 | 1.43 | 1.30 | 0.91 | 14.77 |
Area (% of total) | 100 | 7.8 | 7.1 | 4.9 | 80.2 |
SOC 0–3 m (Pg C) | 1,073 | 164 | 102 | 67 | 740 |
SOC 0–3 m (% of total) | 100 | 15.3 | 9.5 | 6.2 | 69.0 |
SOC 0–3 m (kg C m−2) | 58 | 114 | 79 | 74 | 50 |
Average soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration (kg C m−2) for each thermokarst landscape is reported.
