Lakes are significant methane sources, a powerful greenhouse gas, but long-term, consistent measurements are rare. Five lakes within Swedish Infrastructure of Ecosystem Science were monitored during 2016–2022 to better understand how methane emissions vary across space and time. Ebullition was a major flux pathway, and emissions rise with temperature in ways that differed within and between lakes, highlighting the need for coordinated monitoring and temperature-adjusted comparisons.

This study explores how different types of fungi and plant species affect nitrogen cycling in Arctic soils. By removing certain plants, we found that fungi associated with shrubs speed up nitrogen processes more than those with grasses. Dominant plant species enhance nitrogen recycling, while rare species increase nitrogen loss. These findings help predict how Arctic ecosystems respond to climate change, highlighting the importance of fungi and plant diversity in regulating ecosystem processes.

Small boat harbours are suggested to cause pollution and alien species introductions. Here we analysed surface sediments in Hinsholmskilen harbour (Sweden) for benthic foraminifera and potentially toxic elements. Molecular and morphological analyses of foraminifera show the presence of two alien species, Trochammina hadai and Ammonia confertitesta, whilst pollution is mostly low for Cd, Co, Ni, and Pb. In contrast, As, Zn, Cu, Hg, and Cr have high levels due to the use of these elements in boat paints.

Elevated CO2 in the atmosphere increases forest biomass productivity when growth is not limited by soil nutrients. This study explores how mature trees stimulate soil availability of nitrogen and phosphorus with free-air carbon dioxide enrichment after 5 years of fumigation. We found that both nutrient availability and processes feeding available pools increased in the rhizosphere, and phosphorus increased at depth. This appears to not be by decomposition but by faster recycling of nutrients.

The study uses the stable isotope 13C of carbon in methane to investigate the origins of spatial and temporal variation in methane emitted by a temperate wetland ecosystem. The results indicate that methane production is more important for spatial variation than methane consumption by micro-organisms. Temporal variation on a seasonal timescale is most likely affected by more than one driver simultaneously.

We measured the fluxes of carbon dioxide and methane between a moist moss tundra and the atmosphere on Svalbard in order to better understand how such ecosystems are affecting the climate and vice versa. We found that the system was a small sink of carbon dioxide and a small source of methane. These fluxes are small in comparison with other tundra ecosystems in the high Arctic. Analysis of temperature sensitivity showed that respiration was more sensitive than photosynthesis above about 6 ℃.

N2O emissions from permafrost soils represent up to 11.6 % of total N2O emissions from natural soils, and their contribution to the global N2O budget will likely increase due to climate change. A better understanding of N2O production from permafrost soil is needed to evaluate the role of arctic ecosystems in the global N2O budget. By studying microbial N2O production processes in N2O hotspots in permafrost peatlands, we identified denitrification as the dominant source of N2O in these surfaces.

Transpiration is a key component of global water balance, but it is poorly constrained from available observations. We present SAPFLUXNET, the first global database of tree-level transpiration from sap flow measurements, containing 202 datasets and covering a wide range of ecological conditions. SAPFLUXNET and its accompanying R software package
sapfluxnetrwill facilitate new data syntheses on the ecological factors driving water use and drought responses of trees and forests.

Short summary
Peatlands not only store large amounts of carbon but also harmful metals. In a Swedish wetland, we sampled and analysed peat and water samples and found that iron, lead and carbon are released together, especially after dry periods. Lead levels were often toxic and mostly came from past gasoline pollution. The lake trap some of this released lead down stream of the wetland. We showed that climate change may cause peat to break down, releasing carbon and harmful metals into nearby water systems.
Peatlands not only store large amounts of carbon but also harmful metals. In a Swedish wetland,...
