Figure 4

Relative contributions of DOCflux, major ionflux and SSflux to the annual total flux (sum off all parameters) for (a) Ptarmigan (PT) and (b) Goose (GS). The timing of multiyear-thermal (2007–2012) and physical disturbance (2007) are shown. Note the transition from a dissolved to a particulate dominated system in PT immediately following thermal and physical disturbance. Estimates for the % of SS in 2006 were based on consistent longer-term averages in GS (2006–2017) and by estimating the SSflux using pre-disturbance (2007) runoff-normalized SSflux for the different hydrological periods in PT and applying them to 2006.
