The study was conducted under the auspices of the joint Russian-German projects Polygons in tundra wetlands: State and dynamics under climate variability in polar regions (POLYGON, RFBR grant № 11-04-91332-NNIO-a, DFG grant № HE 3622-16-1), Carbon in Permafrost (CarboPerm, BMBF grant № 03G0836B) and the Arctic Ecological Network (Arc-EcoNet, BMBF grant № 01DJ14003). Additional funding was provided by the Russian Federation Government to VT (grant № 2013-220-04-157) and NR (project of the Altai State University grant № 2013-220-04-129). The work of NR was furthermore supported by the Russian Science Foundation (RSF grant № 14-50-00036). The work of NR and AA in this study was performed according to the Russian Government Program of Competitive Growth of the Kazan Federal University. The work of VK and FM was supported by the RFBR (grant № 13-05-00854) and a project of the St. Petersburg State University (grant № 18.37.141.2014). The study contributes to the Eurasian Arctic Ice 4k project of TO (DFG grant № OP 217/2-1). We thank our colleagues who helped during fieldwork in 2007, especially Dmitry Dobrynin from Moscow State University. We are grateful to Dmitry Mel'nichenko and colleagues from the Hydrobase Tiksi, and Waldemar Schneider from AWI Potsdam who greatly supported the logistics of this expedition, and also to the team of Fedor Selyakhov from the Lena Delta Reserve who hosted our field camp at the Zimov'e River mouth in July 2007. The analytical work in the AWI laboratories was expertly conducted by Ute Bastian and Lutz Schönicke. The paper greatly benefited by helpful comments and corrections from Candace O'Connor (University of Alaska Fairbanks) and two anonymous reviewers.
