Listening to/in the Field: Polyphony in the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes Project
This article reflects on the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes project, a transdisciplinary venture of seven natural scientists, social scientists, and artists that sought to explore how a focus on sound could spur development of a new research sensibility for generating insights beyond the comfort zone of any one discipline. Viewing sound less as an object of study (“what sounds define a place?”) or methodology (“how do we listen to a place?”) than a…
Modelling impacts of infrastructure and climatic factors on reindeer forage availability in winter
The cumulative impacts of climate change and human activities on species are often studied in isolation, limiting understanding of their combined effects. The present research addresses this limitation by proposing a novel conceptual model to assess the cumulative impacts of various anthropogenic developments and environmental conditions on ungulates. The conceptual model is applied to semi-domesticated reindeer, specifically in the context of wi…
Ecosystem carbon dynamics differ between tundra shrub types in the western Canadian Arctic
Shrub expansion at high latitudes has been implicated in driving vegetation 'greening' trends and may partially offset CO 2 emissions from warming soils. However, we do not yet know how Arctic shrub expansion will impact ecosystem carbon (C) cycling and this limits our ability to forecast changes in net C storage and resulting climate feedbacks. Here we quantify the allocation of photosynthate between different ecosystem components for two common…
Abundant pre-industrial carbon detected in Canadian Arctic headwaters: Implications for the permafrost carbon feedback
Mobilization of soil/sediment organic carbon into inland waters constitutes a substantial, but poorly-constrained, component of the global carbon cycle. Radiocarbon (14C) analysis has proven a valuable tool in tracing the sources and fate of mobilized carbon, but aquatic 14C studies in permafrost regions rarely detect 'old' carbon (assimilated from the atmosphere into plants and soil prior to AD1950). The emission of greenhouse gases derived from…
