The PeatPic project
Peatlands store approximately one-third of the world’s soil carbon (C), but their functioning is highly variable at fine spatial scales due to differences in vegetation cover and environmental conditions such as water table depth. This fine-scale heterogeneity plays a key role in carbon dynamics yet capturing it—particularly in relation to green leaf phenology (GLP)—is challenging with traditional remote sensing methods. To address this, we devel…
Peat fires and the unknown risk of legacy metal and metalloid pollution
Introduction. Peatlands have persisted for millennia, acting as\nglobally-important sinks of atmospheric carbon\ndioxide (Yu 2012) and regionally-important role\nsinks of pollutants, such as lead, arsenic, or mercury (toxic metals and metalloids, TMMs) (Bindler\n2006). The role peatlands play in atmospheric carbon sequestration often overshadows their role in\nstoring pollutants despite, for example, peat mercury\naccumulation rates increasing 60…
Disturbances in North American boreal forest and Arctic tundra
Ecosystems in the North American Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) experience a diverse set of disturbances associated with wildfire, permafrost dynamics, geomorphic processes, insect outbreaks and pathogens, extreme weather events, and human activity. Climate warming in the ABZ is occurring at over twice the rate of the global average, and as a result the extent, frequency, and severity of these disturbances are increasing rapidly. Disturbances in the AB…
The unrecognized importance of carbon stocks and fluxes from swamps in Canada and the USA
Swamps are a highly significant wetland type in North America both in terms of areal extent and their role in terrestrial carbon cycling. These wetlands, characterized by woody vegetation cover, encompass a diverse suite of ecosystems, including broad-leaved, needle-leaved, mixedwood or shrub/thicket swamps. Uncertainties in the role of swamps in carbon uptake and release continue to be substantial due to insufficient data on variabilities in car…
Arctic greening associated with lengthening growing seasons in Northern Alaska
Many studies have reported that the Arctic is greening; however, we lack an understanding of the detailed patterns and processes that are leading to this observed greening. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is used to quantify greening, which has had largely positive trends over the last few decades using low spatial resolution satellite imagery such as AVHRR or MODIS over the pan-Arctic region. However, substantial fine scale spa…
