Lakes and ponds can be hotspots for CO₂ and CH₄ emissions, but Arctic studies remain scarce. Here we present diffusive and ebullition fluxes collected over several years from 30 ponds and 4 lakes formed on an organicrich polygonal tundra landscape. Water body morphology strongly affects the mixing r...
