AbstractFeedbacks of climate change at high latitude land surfaces are poorly understood. This contributes to uncertainties in prediction of future climate change and hampers understanding of past climates. The general aim of this program is to investigate feedbacks of climate change on the biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems on permafrost. This is achieved by cooperation between (paleo)ecologists, hydrologists and micrometeorologists using state of the art research techniques at tundra research locations in northern Sweden and north-east Siberia. More specifically, we want to investigate the effects of climate change on:
Present and past fluxes of CH4 in tundra ecosystems, including the development of a paleo-ecological proxy for CH4 fluxes from thaw lakes;
Changes in the amount of water in the active soil layer and its origin;
The effects of these changes on ecosystem properties such as Net Primary Production, net CO2 flux, vegetation cover and plant species diversity;
The feedback between vegetation change and the surface energy and water balance.
The proposed cooperation will bridge the spatial and temporal scale gap that usually exists between biology and earth sciences, as spatial scales from plant to landscape unit, and temporal scales from years to centuries will be included.
This program contains the following projects:1041: Carbon fluxes of tundra wetlands in Northeastern Siberia on a landscape scale: relations with permafrost and floodplain dynamics1042: Feedbacks between hydrological and nutritional changes as induced by permafrost melting, and ecosystem functioning1043: Feedbacks on vegetation change to surface energy balance and seasonal thawing of permafrost1044: Chironomid 13C as a proxy of past methane emission from thermokarst lake sediments: development, calibration and applicationPublicationsVan der Molen, M.K., Van Huissteden, J., Parmentier, F.J.W., Petrescu, A.M.R., Dolman, A.J., Maximov
