Ecosystem responses to recent climate change and fire disturbance at northern high latitudes: observations and model results contrasting northern Eurasia and North America
Vegetation composition at high latitudes plays a critical role in the climate and, in turn, is strongly affected by the climate. The increased frequency of fires expected as a result of climate warming at high latitudes will feedback positively to further warming by releasing carbon to the atmosphere, but will also feedback negatively by increasing the surface albedo. The net effect is complex ...
متن کاملVegetation controls on northern high latitude snow-albedo feedback: observations and CMIP5 model simulations.
The snow-masking effect of vegetation exerts strong control on albedo in northern high latitude ecosystems. Large-scale changes in the distribution and stature of vegetation in this region will thus have important feedbacks to climate. The snow-albedo feedback is controlled largely by the contrast between snow-covered and snow-free albedo (Δα), which influences predictions of future warming in ...
متن کاملTemperature-induced water stress in high-latitude forests in response to natural and anthropogenic warming.
The Arctic is particularly sensitive to climate change, but the independent effects of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration (pCO2 ) and temperature on high-latitude forests are poorly understood. Here, we present a new, annually resolved record of stable carbon isotope (δ(13) C) data determined from Larix cajanderi tree cores collected from far northeastern Siberia in order to investigate t...
متن کاملNorthern high latitude heat budget decomposition and transient 1 warming
6 Many climate models are unable to capture the magnitude of observed warming and sea ice 7 decline in high northern latitudes. To understand the factors affecting the simulated warming 8 we compare the response to increasing CO2 in two pairs of climate models by decomposing 9 the 40–90◦N region heat budget. Each pair includes a member with enhanced global and 10 northern high latitude surface ...
متن کاملA global perspective on Last Glacial Maximum to Holocene climate change
While the abrupt climate events of the last deglaciation are well defined in ice core records from the polar regions of both hemispheres, their manifestation elsewhere is less well constrained. Here we compile 104 high-resolution paleoclimate records to characterize the timing and spatial pattern of climate change during the last deglaciation. This compilation indicates relatively concurrent ti...
