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 کاملThe Legacy of Destructive Snow Goose Foraging on Supratidal Marsh Habitat in the Hudson Bay Lowlands
Stephen L. Peterson* Ecological succession and climate change are pushing tundra as well as Arctic and subarctic Robert F. Rockwell† lowland plant communities toward increased woody vegetation cover. However, areas Christopher R. Witte† and along the Hudson Bay Lowlands that are over-grazed by hyper-abundant lesser snow geese David N. Koons‡ are experiencing drastic losses of grass, sedge, and ...
متن کاملAbundance and Habitat Selection of Breeding Scoters (Melanitta spp.) in Ontario’s Hudson Bay Lowlands
Increasing concern about declines in winter indices of abundance of sea ducks (Anatidae: Mergini) has prompted researchers and agencies to devote more resources to their study and monitoring (Sea Duck Joint Venture 2007*, 2008). However, determining the causes of the apparent decline (Bordage and Savard 1995; Savard et al. 1998; Caithamer et al. 2000*) is a challenge because few breeding baseli...
متن کاملEarly Holocene mass-movements in southeastern Hudson Bay and their possible triggering by postglacial seismicity
Glacio-isostatically induced seismic activity is recognized to play a major role in triggering submarine mass-movements along formerly glaciated continental margins. Ice load removal is known to cause fault instability and generate many earthquakes in these regions immediately after deglaciation. With rates of forced regression of ~7 m/100 yr at time of deglaciation (8-7 ka BP), southeastern Hu...
