Spatiotemporal patterns of northern lake formation since the Last Glacial Maximum

چکیده
The northern mid- to high-latitudes have the highest total number and area of lakes on Earth. Lake origins in these regions are diverse, but a large extent coupled glacial, permafrost, peatland histories. synthesis 1207 lake initiation records presented here provides an analog for rapid landscape-level change response climate warming, its subsequent attenuation by physical biological feedback mechanisms. Our compilation reveals two peaks formation, 13,200 10,400 years ago, both following increases North Atlantic air temperature. Placing our findings within context existing paleoenvironmental records, we suggest that solar insolation-driven changes (temperature water balance) led deglaciation permafrost thaw likely contributed high rates formation during last Deglacial period. However, further landscape development stabilization dramatically reduced beginning ∼10,000 ago. This suggests temperature alone may not control future development; rather, multiple factors must align enable respond with increase area. We propose land surfaces strongly geared toward increased were highly conditioned glaciation. Thus, it is unlikely warming this century will cause as or widespread

Migration Patterns of Subgenus Alnus in Europe since the Last Glacial Maximum: A Systematic Review
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recently, new palaeoecological records supported by molecular analyses and palaeodistributional modelling have provided more comprehensive insights into plant behaviour during the last Quaternary cycle. We reviewed the migration history of species of subgenus Alnus during the last 50,000 years in Europe with a focus on (1) a general revision of Alnus history since the Last Glaci...
متن کاملThe Last Glacial Maximum.
We used 5704 14C, 10Be, and 3He ages that span the interval from 10,000 to 50,000 years ago (10 to 50 ka) to constrain the timing of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in terms of global ice-sheet and mountain-glacier extent. Growth of the ice sheets to their maximum positions occurred between 33.0 and 26.5 ka in response to climate forcing from decreases in northern summer insolation, tropical Pac...
متن کاملFactors controlling variability in the oxidative capacity of the troposphere since the Last Glacial Maximum
The oxidative capacity of past atmospheres is highly uncertain. We present here a new climate–biosphere– chemistry modeling framework to determine oxidant levels in the present and past troposphere. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model driven by meteorological fields from the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) ModelE, with land cover and fire emissions from dynamic global v...
متن کاملClimate, CO2, and the history of North American grasses since the Last Glacial Maximum.
The spread of C4 grasses in the late Neogene is one of the most important ecological transitions of the Cenozoic, but the primary driver of this global expansion is widely debated. We use the stable carbon isotopic composition (δ(13)C) of bison and mammoth tissues as a proxy for the relative abundance of C3 and C4 vegetation in their grazing habitat to determine climatic and atmospheric CO2 con...
