Amplified carbon release from vast West Siberian peatlands by 2100
[1] Extensive new data from previously unstudied Siberian streams and rivers suggest that mobilization of currently frozen, high-latitude soil carbon is likely over the next century in response to predicted Arctic warming. We present dissolved organic carbon (DOC) measurements from ninety-six watersheds in West Siberia, a region that contains the world’s largest stores of peat carbon, exports m...
متن کاملSiberian peatlands a net carbon sink and global methane source since the early Holocene.
Interpolar methane gradient (IPG) data from ice cores suggest the "switching on" of a major Northern Hemisphere methane source in the early Holocene. Extensive data from Russia's West Siberian Lowland show (i) explosive, widespread peatland establishment between 11.5 and 9 thousand years ago, predating comparable development in North America and synchronous with increased atmospheric methane co...
متن کاملPeatlands of the Western Siberian lowlands: current knowledge on zonation, carbon content and Late Quaternary history
The Western Siberian lowlands (WSL) are the world’s largest high-latitude wetland, and possess over 900,000 km of peatlands. The peatlands of the WSL are of major importance to high-latitude hydrology, carbon storage and environmental history. Analysis of the existing Russian data suggests that the mean depth of peat accumulation in the WSL is 256 cm and the total amount of carbon stored there ...
متن کامل40Ar/39Ar dates from the West Siberian Basin: Siberian flood basalt province doubled.
Widespread basaltic volcanism occurred in the region of the West Siberian Basin in central Russia during Permo-Triassic times. New 40Ar/39Ar age determinations on plagioclase grains from deep boreholes in the basin reveal that the basalts were erupted 249.4 +/- 0.5 million years ago. This is synchronous with the bulk of the Siberian Traps, erupted further east on the Siberian Platform. The age ...
