  • Warming of northern peatlands increases the global temperature overshoot challenge

  • A strong mitigation scenario maintains climate neutrality of northern peatlands

  • Sensitivity of ecosystem-protected permafrost under changing boreal forest structures

    Open AccessSimone Maria Stuenzi, Julia Boike et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Boreal forests efficiently insulate underlying permafrost. The magnitude of this insulation effect is dependent on forest density and composition. A change therein modifies the energy and water fluxes within and below the canopy. The direct influence of climatic change on forests and the indirect effect through a change in permafrost dynamics lead to extensive ecosystem shifts such as a change in composition or density, which will, in turn, affec…

  • Population living on permafrost in the Arctic

    Open AccessJustine Ramage, Leneisja Jungsberg et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Environment2021Cited by: 4References: 27

    Permafrost thaw is a challenge in many Arctic regions, one that modifies ecosystems and affects infrastructure and livelihoods. To date, there have been no demographic studies of the population on permafrost. We present the first estimates of the number of inhabitants on permafrost in the Arctic Circumpolar Permafrost Region (ACPR) and project changes as a result of permafrost thaw. We combine current and projected populations at settlement level…

  • Subsea permafrost carbon stocks and climate change sensitivity estimated by expert assessment

    Open AccessSayedeh Sara Sayedi, Benjamin W Abbott et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The continental shelves of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas contain large stocks of organic matter (OM) and methane (CH 4 ), representing a potential ecosystem feedback to climate change not included in international climate agreements. We performed a structured expert assessment with 25 permafrost researchers to combine quantitative estimates of the stocks and sensitivity of organic carbon in the subsea permafrost domain (i.e. unglaciated p…

  • Holocene development of subarctic permafrost peatlands in Finnmark, northern Norway

    Open AccessSofia E Kjellman, Pia E Axelsson et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 2References: 12

    Subarctic permafrost peatlands are important soil organic carbon pools, and improved knowledge about peat properties and peatland sensitivity to past climate change is essential when predicting future response to a warmer climate and associated feedback mechanisms. In this study, Holocene peatland development and permafrost dynamics of four subarctic peat plateaus in Finnmark, northern Norway have been investigated through detailed analyses of pl…
