Elemental composition and optical properties reveal changes in dissolved organic matter along a permafrost thaw chronosequence in a subarctic peatland: Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 187, p. 123-140, illus. incl. 3 tables, 97 ref., August 15, 2016. Includes appendices.

The fate of carbon stored in permafrost-zone peatlands represents a significant uncertainty in global climate modeling. Given that the breakdown of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is often a major pathway for decomposition in peatlands, knowledge of DOM reactivity under different permafrost regimes is critical for determining future climate feedbacks. To explore the effects of permafrost thaw and resultant plant succession on DOM reactivity, we used a combination of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), UV/Vis absorbance, and excitation-emission matrix spectroscopy (EEMS) to examine the DOM elemental composition and optical properties of 27 pore water samples gathered from various sites along a permafrost thaw sequence in Stordalen Mire, a thawing subarctic peatland in northern Sweden. The presence of dense Sphagnum moss, a feature that is dominant in the intermediate thaw stages, appeared to be the main driver of variation in DOM elemental composition and optical properties at Stordalen. Specifically, DOM from sites with Sphagnum had greater aromaticity, higher average molecular weights, and greater O/C, consistent with a higher abundance of phenolic compounds that likely inhibit decomposition. These compounds are released by Sphagnum and may accumulate due to inhibition of phenol oxidase activity by the acidic pH at these sites. In contrast, sites without Sphagnum, specifically fully-thawed rich fens, had more saturated, more reduced compounds, which were high in N and S. Optical properties at rich fens indicated the presence of microbially-derived DOM, consistent with the higher decomposition rates previously measured at these sites. These results indicate that Sphagnum acts as an inhibitor of rapid decomposition and CH₄ release in thawing subarctic peatlands, consistent with lower rates of CO₂ and CH₄ production previously observed at these sites. However, this inhibitory effect may disappear if Sphagnum-dominated bogs transition to more waterlogged rich fens that contain very little to no living Sphagnum. Release of this inhibition allows for higher levels of microbial activity and potentially greater CH₄ release, as has been observed in these fen sites.

CMIP5 permafrost degradation projection; a comparison among different regions: Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 121(9), p. 4499-4517, illus. incl. 4 tables, 54 ref., May 16, 2016.

The considerable impact of permafrost degradation on hydrology and water resources, ecosystems, human engineering facilities, and climate change requires us to carry out more in-depth studies, at finer spatial scales, to investigate the issue. In this study, regional differences of the future permafrost changes are explored with respect to the regions (high altitude and high latitude, and in four countries) based on the surface frost index (SFI) model and multimodel and multiscenario data from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Results show the following: (1) Compared with seven other sets of driving data, Climatic Research Unit air temperature combined with Climate Forecast System Reanalysis snow data (CRU_CFSR) yield a permafrost extent with the least absolute area bias and was thus used in the simulation. The SFI model, driven by CRU_CFSR data climatology plus multimodel mean anomalies, produces a present-day (1986-2005) permafrost area of 15.45 ´ 10⁶ km² decade^-1, which compares reasonably with observations of 15.24 ´ 10⁶ km² decade^-1. (2) The high-altitude (Tibetan Plateau) permafrost area shows a larger decreasing percentage trend than the high-latitude permafrost area. This indicates that, in terms of speed, high-altitude permafrost thaw is faster than high-latitude permafrost, mainly due to the larger percentage sensitivity to rising air temperature of the high-altitude permafrost compared to the high-latitude permafrost, which is likely related to their thermal conditions. (3) Permafrost in China shows the fastest thaw, which is reflected by the percentage trend in permafrost area, followed by the United States, Russia, and Canada. These discrepancies are mainly linked to different percentage sensitivities of permafrost areas in these four countries to air temperature change. (4) In terms of the ensemble mean, permafrost areas in all regions are projected to decrease by the period 2080-2099. Under representative concentration pathway (RCP)4.5, permafrost retreats toward the Arctic, and the thaw in every region mainly occurs at the southern edge of the permafrost area. Under RCP8.5, almost no permafrost is expected to remain in China, the United States, and the Tibetan Plateau. Permafrost in Russia will remain mainly in the western part of the east Siberian Mountains, and permafrost in Canada will retreat to the north of 65°N. Possible uncertainties in this study are primarily attributed to the climate model's coarse horizontal resolution. The results of the present study will be useful for understanding future permafrost degradation from the regional perspective. Abstract Copyright (2016), . American Geophysical Union.

Influence of vertical and lateral heat transfer on permafrost thaw, peatland landscape transition, and groundwater flow: Water Resources Research, 52(2), p. 1286-1305, illus. incl. 2 tables, 95 ref., February 2016.

Recent climate change has reduced the spatial extent and thickness of permafrost in many discontinuous permafrost regions. Rapid permafrost thaw is producing distinct landscape changes in the Taiga Plains of the Northwest Territories, Canada. As permafrost bodies underlying forested peat plateaus shrink, the landscape slowly transitions into unforested wetlands. The expansion of wetlands has enhanced the hydrologic connectivity of many watersheds via new surface and near-surface flow paths, and increased streamflow has been observed. Furthermore, the decrease in forested peat plateaus results in a net loss of boreal forest and associated ecosystems. This study investigates fundamental processes that contribute to permafrost thaw by comparing observed and simulated thaw development and landscape transition of a peat plateau-wetland complex in the Northwest Territories, Canada from 1970 to 2012. Measured climate data are first used to drive surface energy balance simulations for the wetland and peat plateau. Near-surface soil temperatures simulated in the surface energy balance model are then applied as the upper boundary condition to a three-dimensional model of subsurface water flow and coupled energy transport with freeze-thaw. Simulation results demonstrate that lateral heat transfer, which is not considered in many permafrost models, can influence permafrost thaw rates. Furthermore, the simulations indicate that landscape evolution arising from permafrost thaw acts as a positive feedback mechanism that increases the energy absorbed at the land surface and produces additional permafrost thaw. The modeling results also demonstrate that flow rates in local groundwater flow systems may be enhanced by the degradation of isolated permafrost bodies. Abstract Copyright (2016), .

Evidence for nonuniform permafrost degradation after fire in boreal landscapes: Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 121(2), p. 320-335, illus. incl. 2 tables, geol. sketch map, 55 ref., February 2016.

Fire can be a significant driver of permafrost change in boreal landscapes, altering the availability of soil carbon and nutrients that have important implications for future climate and ecological succession. However, not all landscapes are equally susceptible to fire-induced change. As fire frequency is expected to increase in the high latitudes, methods to understand the vulnerability and resilience of different landscapes to permafrost degradation are needed. We present a combination of multiscale remote sensing, geophysical, and field observations that reveal details of both near-surface (<1 m) and deeper (>1 m) impacts of fire on permafrost. Along 11 transects that span burned-unburned boundaries in different landscape settings within interior Alaska, subsurface electrical resistivity and nuclear magnetic resonance data indicate locations where permafrost appears to be resilient to disturbance from fire, areas where warm permafrost conditions exist that may be most vulnerable to future change, and also areas where permafrost has thawed. High-resolution geophysical data corroborate remote sensing interpretations of near-surface permafrost and also add new high-fidelity details of spatial heterogeneity that extend from the shallow subsurface to depths of about 10 m. Results show that postfire impacts on permafrost can be variable and depend on multiple factors such as fire severity, soil texture, soil moisture, and time since fire. Abstract Copyright (2016), .

Radiation and energy balance characteristics of asphalt pavement in permafrost regions: Environmental Earth Sciences, 75(3), Article 221, illus. incl. 2 tables, 30 ref., February 2016.

Solar radiation and energy balance between the atmosphere and asphalt pavement directly affect the heat absorption of the pavement, resulting in a temperature increase and possible thawing of the permafrost beneath embankments in permafrost regions. The study area is located in the eastern side of the Qiangtang large continuous permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. By in situ field testing about radiation and energy transfer, the heat absorption of asphalt pavement in the experimental section of high-grade highway in the Beiluhe area was analyzed. The energy exchange between the atmosphere and asphalt pavement differs from the natural surface. Compared with natural surface, the asphalt pavement shows an increased radiation capacity of downward longwave radiation, upward longwave radiation, and downward shortwave radiation, as well as a reduced radiation capacity of upward shortwave radiation. These changes in radiation capacity substantiate the increase in the heat absorption of asphalt pavement. Overall, the net radiation amount of asphalt pavement is 6.45 % higher than that of a natural surface. Sensible heat and latent heat dominated the energy transportation. However, in contrast to that of the natural surface, the sensible heat flux of the asphalt pavement was reduced by 15.95 %, whereas the latent heat flux was reduced by 32.1 %. The increase in solar radiation energy absorption and the decrease in energy transfer caused the asphalt pavement to absorb more heat than the natural surface. This difference in energy balance was a driving force in the thermal effects of asphalt pavement. Analysis of heat sources of asphalt pavement will help to take appropriate engineering measures for the normal operation of road construction in cold regions.

Distribution of frozen ground and active layer thickness in the Northern Hemisphere during the mid-Holocene (MH) and differences with respect to the preindustrial (PI) were investigated here using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models. Two typical diagnostic methods, respectively, based on soil temperature (T_s based; a direct method) and air temperature (T_a based; an indirect method) were employed to classify categories and extents of frozen ground. In relation to orbitally induced changes in climate and in turn freezing and thawing indices, the MH permafrost extent was 20.5% (1.8%) smaller than the PI, whereas seasonally frozen ground increased by 9.2% (0.8%) in the Northern Hemisphere according to the T_s-based (T_a-based) method. Active layer thickness became larger, but by ≤&eq; 1.0 m in most of permafrost areas during the MH. Intermodel disagreement remains within areas of permafrost boundary by both the T_s-based and T_a-based results, with the former demonstrating less agreement among the CMIP5 models because of larger variation in land model abilities to represent permafrost processes. However, both the methods were able to reproduce the MH relatively degenerated permafrost and increased active layer thickness (although with smaller magnitudes) as observed in data reconstruction. Disparity between simulation and reconstruction was mainly found in the seasonally frozen ground regions at low to middle latitudes, where the reconstruction suggested a reduction of seasonally frozen ground extent to the north, whereas the simulation demonstrated a slightly expansion to the south for the MH compared to the PI.

The Transantarctic Mountains (TAMs), a 3500 km long chain that subdivides East Antarctica from West Antarctica, are important for reconstructing the tectonic, glacial, and climatic history of Antarctica. With an ice-free area of 24 200 km² (50% of the total in Antarctica), the TAMs contain an unusually high proportion of paleosols, including relict and buried soils. The unconsolidated paleosols range from late Quaternary to Miocene in age, the semi-consolidated paleosols are of early Miocene to Oligocene age, and the consolidated paleosols are of Paleozoic age. Paleosols on unconsolidated deposits are emphasized in this study. Examples are given from the McMurdo Dry Valleys (78° S) and two outlet glaciers in the central and southern TAMS, including the Hatherton-Darwin Glacier region (80° S) and the Beardmore Glacier region (85°30' S). Relict soils constitute 73% of all of the soils examined; 10% of the soils featured burials. About 26% of the soils examined are from the last glaciation (< 117 ka) and have not undergone any apparent change in climate. As an example, paleosols comprise 65% of a mapped portion of central Wright Valley. Paleosols in the TAMs feature recycled ventifacts and buried glacial ice in excess of 8 Ma in age, and volcanic ash of Pliocene to Miocene age has buried some soils. Relict soils are more strongly developed than nearby modern soils and often are dry-frozen and feature sand-wedge casts when ice-cemented permafrost is present. The preservation of paleosols in the TAMs can be attributed to cold-based glaciers that are able to override landscapes while causing minimal disturbance.

Late-glacial and Holocene evolution as a driver of diversity and complexity of the northeastern North American alpine landscapes; a synthesis: Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences = Revue Canadienne des Sciences de la Terre, 53(5), p. 494-505 (French sum.), illus. incl. 3 tables, 91 ref., May 2016.

Mid-altitude, mid-latitude mountains are complex environments owing to their Pleistocene glacial heritage, the importance of geomorphic processes on the steep slopes, and the climatic conditions that are often close to periglacial. These factors, along with the fragmentation of the alpine habitats, enhance the topographic and floristic diversity of these environments in northeastern North America. Through case studies, this synthesis underlines the interactions between the geosphere (glacial, paraglacial, and periglacial processes), the atmosphere (climatic fluctuations), and the biosphere (vegetation establishment and evolution to the present day) that explain the low elevation of the northeastern North American alpine environment and that testify to its complexity. Vegetation established earlier in the southern ranges, following the same general trend as the Laurentian Ice Sheet recession. However, local factors such as ice retreat, response to global-scale climate changes, and paraglacial processes acted in synergy to increase the resilience and to influence the occurrence of alpine landscapes. The establishment of the latter environment can therefore be considered to be azonal. Finally, our findings highlight the lack of a conceptual framework, systemic studies, and multi-proxy reconstructions of alpine environments located at the limit of bioclimatic zones controlled by the equilibrium between biostatic and rhexistatic regimes.

The effects of climate change on mountain hydrology are likely to have consequences for mountain people, particularly in terms of the water sources, vegetation, grazing land and other resources on which they are dependent. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has indicated that global warming is occurring relatively faster in recent decades, with the rate of temperature increase being greater in the high-altitude Himalaya than in lowland parts of Nepal (Shrestha et al., 1999). One effect of the temperature rise is that glaciers are retreating faster than previously in the Himalayan region (International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), 2009; IPCC, 2001; 2007). This paper examines changes in river flows and sediment loads in the Himalayan region using the Upper Kaligandaki River basin as a case study. River flow and suspended sediment concentration data were collected at two locations and were analysed for the period 2011 to 2012. The two variables were found to have a positive correlation. Using historic river flow data, long-term annual average suspended sediment loads were then estimated for the period 1975 to 2011. The result showed a trend of increasing sediment load in the Upper Kaligandaki River. The increasing trend is likely to continue and will have detrimental consequences on the current landuse and infrastructure.

Reversible and irreversible strain behavior of frozen aeolian soil under dynamic loading: Environmental Earth Sciences, 75(3), Article 245, illus. incl. 4 tables, 36 ref., February 2016.

Dynamic triaxial experiments were conducted to investigate the reversible and irreversible strain behavior of frozen aeolian soil. The frozen soil samples were subjected to the testing conditions of various temperatures, dynamic stress amplitudes, confining pressures and loading frequencies. The testing results indicate that both temperature and dynamic stress amplitude have significant influences on the resilient strain of frozen aeolian soil, and higher temperature and dynamic stress amplitude lead to larger cumulative plastic strain of frozen aeolian soil. Within the range of 0.02-0.1 MPa for the confining pressure, the resilient modulus increases with the increase of the confining pressure, while the cumulative plastic strain behaves adversely. The resilient modulus increases slightly with the increasing of the loading frequency, while the cumulative plastic strain somewhat decreases when the loading frequency reduces. Moreover, the functions of resilient modulus and cumulative plastic strain of frozen aeolian soil subgrade under dynamic loading were obtained. The results provide fundamental experimental data for predicting the permanent deformation of frozen aeolian soil subgrade and may shed light on further studies on the stability of highway subgrade in the cold regions.

The Beaufort Formation (BF) braided river deposit contains exceptionally well-preserved logs, leaves, peat, insects, and vertebrate fossils that provide key evidence for Arctic environmental conditions during the Pliocene. Its wide geographic range along the western edge of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago suggests that its deposition and incision history were dictated by regional drivers of sediment transport (e.g., eustatic sea-level, permafrost thaw, ice sheet erosion, and dynamic topography). Hence, the BF provides clues about both environmental and depositional conditions, but available chronology in the last few decades has not been able to identify these as having occurred either 1) during the polar amplification of global warming (Pliocene Climate Optimum, 3.3-3.0 Ma) or 2) during the onset of northern hemisphere glaciations (Plio-Pleistocene transition, 2.6 Ma). We use cosmogenic nuclide burial dating at the southernmost BF locality (Ballast Brook on Banks Is.) to obtain: a) a minimum age of 2.72 (+0.34)/(-0.24) (1 s) Ma, and b) a maximum catchment-wide paleo-erosion rate of 49-86±2 cm/ka. The description of a previously unreported glaciofluvial gravel (which occurs at the same stratigraphic level as a potential ice-wedge pseudomorph and coincides with the base of a previously-mapped 3-km wide cut-and-fill channel) dates the earliest evidence of CAA glaciation, at 2.72 Ma. The presence of a large channel that runs parallel to the northern coast of Banks Is. also suggests that M'Clure Strait (and the Northwest Passage) was not open at that time. Furthermore, such a large (correlative with part of the 3-km Iperk Formation offshore) and quick (49-86±2 cm/ka) deposition event must have required the stripping of unconsolidated material (e.g. part of the Eureka Sound Group or Hassel and Isachsen Formations). The deposition system was likely a transport-limited system, and like the White Channel Gravels of the Yukon (Hidy et al. 2013), may have been controlled by changing climate in the Pliocene (e.g., melting permafrost, increased precipitation).
