  • Arctic-boreal lakes of interior Alaska dominated by contemporary carbon

    Open AccessFenix Garcia‐Tigreros, Clayton D Elder et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Northern high-latitude lakes are critical sites for carbon processing and serve as potential conduits for the emission of permafrost-derived carbon and greenhouse gases. However, the fate and emission pathways of permafrost carbon in these systems remain uncertain. Here, we used the natural abundance of radiocarbon to identify and trace the predominant sources of methane, carbon dioxide, dissolved inorganic and organic carbon in nine lakes within…

  • Patterns and isotopic composition of greenhouse gases under ice in lakes of interior Alaska

    Open AccessMadeline O’Dwyer, David Butman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Arctic and boreal lake greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are an important component of regional carbon (C) budgets. Yet the magnitude and seasonal patterns of lake GHG emissions are poorly constrained, because sampling is limited in these remote landscapes, particularly during winter and shoulder seasons. To better define patterns of under ice GHG content (and emissions potential at spring thaw), we surveyed carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 …

  • Satellite and airborne remote sensing of gross primary productivity in boreal Alaskan lakes

    Open AccessCatherine Kuhn, Matthew J Bogard et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    In terrestrial and marine ecosystems, remote sensing has been used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) for decades, but few applications exist for shallow freshwater ecosystems.Here we show field-based GPP correlates with satellite and airborne lake color across a range of optically and limnologically diverse lakes in interior Alaska. A strong relationship between in situ GPP derived from stable oxygen isotopes (δ 18 O) and space-based l…

  • Large, climate-sensitive soil carbon stocks mapped with pedology-informed machine learning in the North Pacific coastal temperate rainforest

    Open AccessGavin McNicol, Chuck Bulmer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Accurate soil organic carbon (SOC) maps are needed to predict the terrestrial SOC feedback to climate change, one of the largest remaining uncertainties in Earth system modeling. Over the last decade, global scale models have produced varied predictions of the size and distribution of SOC stocks, ranging from 1000 to >3000 Pg of C within the top 1 m. Regional assessments may help validate or improve global maps because they can examine landscape …

  • Mapping Russian forest biomass with data from satellites and forest inventories

    Open AccessR A Houghton, David Butman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2007

    The forests of Russia cover a larger area and hold more carbon than the forests of any other nation and thus have the potential for a major role in global warming. Despite a systematic inventory of these forests, however, estimates of total carbon stocks vary, and spatial variations in the stocks within large aggregated units of land are unknown, thus hampering measurement of sources and sinks of carbon. We mapped the distribution of living fores…
