Modeling of Microscale Variations in Methane Fluxes
Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Technology to be presented with due permission for public examination and debate in Auditorium Abstract: The current study analyzes the different modes of variation in methane fluxes from different microsites of a boreal mire. The results emphasize the importance of microsite characteristics, water table and vegetation cover for methane fluxes. Water lev...
متن کاملEmissions of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane from boreal forest fires in 1998
[1] The global boreal forest region experienced some 17.9 million ha of fire in 1998, which could be the highest level of the decade. Through the analysis of fire statistics from North America and satellite data from Russia, semimonthly estimates of area burned for five different regions in the boreal forest were generated and used to estimate total carbon release and CO2, CO, and CH4 emissions...
متن کاملShort-term carbon dioxide exchange and environmental factors in a boreal fen
Northern peatlands are important contributors to the global carbon cycle. In cold and moist climatic conditions, boreal peatlands have sequestered large amounts of atmospheric carbon during the past few thousand years (GORHAM 1991). The carbon balance in mires depends on the rates of photosynthesis and respiration which are affected by both the long-term and the short-term variations in environ...
متن کاملCarbon, Trace Gas, and Particulate Emissions from Wildfires in the Boreal Regions of North America
Large wildfires have a considerable impact on the atmospheric concentrations of CO2, CO, O3, NOx, and CH4 across North America. Carbon releases can be as high as 4 to 8 kg C-m per fire event. These emissions significantly affect concentrations far downwind. With funding from NASA, the Joint Fire Science Program, NSF, and the Canadian Government, US and Canadian researchers have been developing ...
متن کاملNear-zero methane emission from an abandoned boreal peatland pasture based on eddy covariance measurements
Although estimates of the annual methane (CH4) flux from agriculturally managed peatlands exist, knowledge of controls over the variation of CH4 at different time-scales is limited due to the lack of high temporal-resolution data. Here we present CH4 fluxes measured from May 2014 to April 2016 using the eddy covariance technique at an abandoned peatland pasture in western Newfoundland, Canada. ...
