Abstract
The results of the study of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in surface waters of permafrost region of Central Evenkia are in the focus of the presented article. It is shown that in comparison to temperate zone and island permafrost, continuous permafrost exerts higher DOC concentrations in streams and rivers. Most important factors controlling DOC export are rainfalls and forest fires disturbing watersheds. The data obtained are discussed from the viewpoint of prognosis of DOC concentrations in surface waters under global climate change.
