  • Role of land cover in Finland’s greenhouse gas emissions

    Open AccessMaria Holmberg, Virpi Junttila et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2023Cited by: 2References: 36

    We present regionally aggregated emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from five land cover categories in Finland: artificial surfaces, arable land, forest, waterbodies, and wetlands. Carbon (C) sequestration to managed forests and unmanaged wetlands was also assessed. Models FRES and ALas were applied for emissions (CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O) from artificial surfaces and agriculture, and PREBAS for forest growth and C balance. Empirical emission coeffic…

  • Rising methane emissions from boreal lakes due to increasing ice-free days

    Open AccessMingyang Guo, Qianlai Zhuang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Lakes account for about 10% of the boreal landscape and are responsible for approximately 30% of biogenic methane emissions that have been found to increase under changing climate. However, the quantification of this climate-sensitive methane source is fraught with large uncertainty under warming climate conditions. Only a few studies have addressed the mechanism of climate impact on the increase of northern lake methane emissions. This study use…

  • Potential impacts of a future Nordic bioeconomy on surface water quality

    Open AccessHannu Marttila, Ahti Lepistö et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2020Cited by: 2References: 77

    Nordic water bodies face multiple stressors due to human activities, generating diffuse loading and climate change. The ‘green shift’ towards a bio-based economy poses new demands and increased pressure on the environment. Bioeconomy-related pressures consist primarily of more intensive land management to maximise production of biomass. These activities can add considerable nutrient and sediment loads to receiving waters, posing a threat to ecosy…

  • Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire

    Open AccessBenjamin W Abbott, Jeremy B Jones et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    As the permafrost region warms, its large organic carbon pool will be increasingly vulnerable to decomposition, combustion, and hydrologic export. Models predict that some portion of this release will be offset by increased production of Arctic and boreal biomass; however, the lack of robust estimates of net carbon balance increases the risk of further overshooting international emissions targets. Precise empirical or model-based assessments of t…

  • Lakes and reservoirs as regulators of carbon cycling and climate

    Open AccessLars J Tranvik, John Downing et al.ARTICLELimnology and Oceanography2009

    We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate. Furthermore, we project changes as global climate change in the abundance and spatial distribution of lakes in the biosphere, and we revise the estimate for the global extent of carbon transformation…
