  • Ecosystem carbon dynamics differ between tundra shrub types in the western Canadian Arctic

    Open AccessLorna E Street, Jens‐Arne Subke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    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

    Open AccessJoshua Dean, Ype Van Der Velde et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    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…

  • Ecological Dynamics Across the Arctic Associated with Recent Climate Change

    Open AccessEric Post, Mads C Forchhammer et al.ARTICLEScience2009

    Assessing the Arctic The Arctic is experiencing some of the most rapid climate change currently under way across the globe, but consequent ecological responses have not been widely reported. At the close of the Fourth International Polar Year, Post et al. (p. 1355 ) review observations on ecological impacts in this sensitive region. The widespread changes occurring in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine systems, presage changes at lower latitudes…

  • The Impact of Climate Change on Ecosystem Carbon Dynamics at the Scandinavian Mountain Birch Forest–Tundra Heath Ecotone

    Sofie Sjögersten, Philip A WookeyARTICLEAMBIO2009Cited by: 1

    Changes in temperature and moisture resulting from climate change are likely to strongly modify the ecosystem carbon sequestration capacity in high-latitude areas, both through vegetation shifts and via direct warming effects on photosynthesis and decomposition. This paper offers a synthesis of research addressing the potential impacts of climate warming on soil processes and carbon fluxes at the forest-tundra ecotone in Scandinavia. Our results …

  • Plant community responses to experimental warming across the tundra biome

    Open AccessMarilyn D Walker, C Henrik Wahren et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2006

    Recent observations of changes in some tundra ecosystems appear to be responses to a warming climate. Several experimental studies have shown that tundra plants and ecosystems can respond strongly to environmental change, including warming; however, most studies were limited to a single location and were of short duration and based on a variety of experimental designs. In addition, comparisons among studies are difficult because a variety of tech…
