A Frozen Feast: Thawing permafrost increases plant-available nitrogen in subarctic peatlands
Many of the world's northern peatlands are underlain by rapidly thawing permafrost. Because plant production in these peatlands is often nitrogen (N)-limited, a release of N stored in permafrost may stimulate net primary production or change species composition if it is plant-available. In this study, we aimed to quantify plant-available N in thawing permafrost soils of subarctic peatlands. We ...
متن کاملLong-term CO2 production following permafrost thaw
Thawing permafrost represents a poorly understood feedback mechanism of climate change in the Arctic, but with a potential impact owing to stored carbon being mobilized1–5. We have quantified the long-term loss of carbon (C) from thawing permafrost in Northeast Greenland from 1996 to 2008 by combining repeated sediment sampling to assess changes in C stock and >12 years of CO2 production in inc...
متن کاملForaging the Thaw Front: Increased nutrient uptake at the permafrost surface enhances biomass production of deep- rooting subarctic peatland species
1. Plant production in subarctic peatlands is nitrogen (N)-limited. Climate warming increases N mineralization in superficial peat layers and recent results additionally show that permafrost thawing in these peatlands may substantially increase plant-available N at the thaw front. This might stimulate net primary production and affect species composition. However, the ability of individual peat...
