The exchange of carbon dioxide between wet arctic tundra and the atmosphere at the Lena River Delta, Northern Siberia
The exchange fluxes of carbon dioxide between wet arctic polygonal tundra and the atmosphere were investigated by the micrometeorological eddy covariance method. The investigation site was situated in the centre of the Lena River Delta in Northern Siberia (7222 N, 12630 E). The study region is characterized by a polar and distinctly continental climate, very cold and ice-rich permafrost and its...
متن کاملAnnual patterns and budget of CO2 flux in an Arctic tussock tundra ecosystem
The functioning of Arctic ecosystems is not only critically affected by climate change, but it also has the potential for major positive feedback on climate. There is, however, relatively little information on the role, patterns, and vulnerabilities of CO2 fluxes during the nonsummer seasons in Arctic ecosystems. Presented here is a year-round study of CO2 fluxes in an Alaskan Arctic tussock tu...
متن کاملSeasonal patterns of carbon dioxide and water fluxes in three representative tundra ecosystems in northern Alaska
Understanding the carbon dioxide and water fluxes in the Arctic is essential for accurate assessment and prediction of the responses of these ecosystems to climate change. In the Arctic, there have been relatively few studies of net CO2, water, and energy exchange using micrometeorological methods due to the difficulty of performing these measurements in cold, remote regions. When these measure...
متن کاملEstimating CO 2 exchange at two sites in Arctic tundra ecosystems during the growing season using a spectral vegetation index
Measurements of carbon ̄ uxes in Arctic tundra landscapes are generally obtained through intensive ® eld work and involve the use of chamber and/or micrometeorological tower techniques. However, ® ndings in a variety of nonArctic ecosystems have demonstrated the potential of remote sensing-based techniques (particularly spectral vegetation indices) to provide estimates of CO2 exchange in amore ...
متن کاملPolygonal tundra geomorphological change in response to warming alters future CO2 and CH4 flux on the Barrow Peninsula.
The landscape of the Barrow Peninsula in northern Alaska is thought to have formed over centuries to millennia, and is now dominated by ice-wedge polygonal tundra that spans drained thaw-lake basins and interstitial tundra. In nearby tundra regions, studies have identified a rapid increase in thermokarst formation (i.e., pits) over recent decades in response to climate warming, facilitating cha...
