Lower soil moisture and deep soil temperatures in thermokarst features increase old soil carbon loss after 10 years of experimental permafrost warming

Elaine F. Pegoraro et al.

Summary: Nearly half of global terrestrial soil carbon is stored in the northern circumpolar permafrost region, which is experiencing rapid warming. Long-term soil warming can impact soil hydrology and the contribution of old soil carbon to ecosystem respiration, with shifts in respiration sources occurring when soil moisture levels change. This research emphasizes the importance of understanding how permafrost systems respond to climate change in order to prevent them from transitioning from carbon sinks to sources.

Preferential export of permafrost-derived organic matter as retrogressive thaw slumping intensifies

Lisa Broeder et al.

Summary: Enhanced warming in the Northern high latitudes has intensified thermokarst processes, particularly evident in retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) in the permafrost zone. Analysis of sediment properties and organic matter composition in different soil layers and mobilized materials from RTS features in the Peel Plateau, Canada indicated that organic matter degradation and hydrodynamic sorting play key roles in influencing the mobilized material. Organic constituents and grain sizes varied between active layer, debris, and runoff deposits, suggesting the need for further research on the impact of intensifying RTS activity on CO2 release and ecosystem carbon fluxes.

Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO2 fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: Regional patterns and uncertainties

Anna-Maria Virkkala et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the spatial patterns and drivers of CO2 fluxes in high-latitude regions using statistical models, showing that machine learning and ensemble predictions outperformed traditional regression methods. CO2 sink strength was found to be larger in boreal biome compared to tundra, with the variability reflecting heterogeneity in soil organic carbon stocks, climate, and vegetation productivity. Despite uncertainty, the high-latitude region was estimated to be an annual CO2 sink during 1990-2015 based on ensemble predictions of NEE.

Summary: The study investigates how a wide spatio-temporal gradient of permafrost thaw and plant productivity affects ecosystem respiration and isotopic partitioning. Surface processes were found to dominate spatial variation in old soil carbon loss.
