S Sobek, LJ Tranvik, YT Prairie… - Limnology and …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a key parameter in lakes that can affect numerous
features, including microbial metabolism, light climate, acidity, and primary production. In an …

Export of DOM from boreal catchments: impacts of land use cover and climate

T Mattsson, P Kortelainen, A Räike - Biogeochemistry, 2005 - Springer
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important fraction in carbon (C) and nutrient budgets
for aquatic ecosystems and can have broad effects on food webs and nutrient cycling. To …

Sediment respiration and lake trophic state are important predictors of large CO2 evasion from small boreal lakes

P Kortelainen, M Rantakari, JT Huttunen… - Global Change …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We show that sediment respiration is one of the key factors contributing to the high CO2
supersaturation in and evasion from Finnish lakes, and evidently also over large areas in the …

Methane dynamics in different boreal lake types

S Juutinen, M Rantakari, P Kortelainen… - …, 2009 - bg.copernicus.org
This study explores the variability in concentrations of dissolved CH 4 and annual flux
estimates in the pelagic zone in a statistically defined sample of 207 lakes in Finland. The …

A large carbon pool and small sink in boreal Holocene lake sediments

P Kortelainen, H Pajunen, M Rantakari… - Global Change …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Model‐based estimates suggest that lake sediments may be a significant, long‐
term sink for organic carbon (C) at regional to global scales. These models have used …

Increasing trends of total organic carbon concentrations in small forest lakes in Finland from 1987 to 2003

J Vuorenmaa, M Forsius, J Mannio - Science of the Total Environment, 2006 - Elsevier
Trends in total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations over the period 1987–2003 were
studied in 13 small forest lakes. Recovery from acidification (reduced SO4 deposition) and …

Interannual variation and climatic regulation of the CO2 emission from large boreal lakes

M Rantakari, P Kortelainen - Global Change Biology, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We studied the interannual variation of surface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and
the CO2 emissions from the 37 large Finnish lakes linking them to the water quality …
