Variability in Trends and Indicators of CO2 Exchange Across Arctic Wetlands
Abstract Arctic wetlands store nearly half of the world's soil organic carbon and are crucial to the global carbon cycle. However, most Earth system models fail to account for wetlands given heterogeneity and uncertainty surrounding the response of different wetland types to climate change. We analyzed summer (June–August) carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange,

Year‐Round δ13C‐CH4 Reveals Seasonal Transition in Methane‐Related Processes in a Boreal Mire
Abstract While boreal mires are known to be a significant natural source of methane (CH4), the seasonality of the related processes and their controls are still poorly understood. Here we aim to characterize CH4 production, oxidation and transport, and their drivers in a boreal mire using year‐round continuous measurements of stable carbon isotope ...

The Impact of Parametric Uncertainties on Biogeochemistry in the E3SM Land Model
Abstract We conduct a global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), land model (ELM) to calculate the sensitivity of five key carbon cycle outputs to 68 model parameters. This GSA is conducted by first constructing a Polynomial Chaos (PC) surrogate via new Weighted Iterative Bayesian Compressive Sensing (WIBCS ...

Abstract Peatlands are important climate change mitigation agents as they store large amounts of carbon (C). Yet, their C sink capacity is vulnerable to environmental changes, which is however uncertain in a changing climate. Here, we examined potential habitat‐specific C accumulation drivers over the past ∼1,000 years, using replicate peat records ...

Sex ratio variation in reindeer Rangifer tarandus: a test of the extrinsic modification hypothesis
Evolutionary theories based on adaptive modification of maternal investment are generally suggested to explain variation in offspring sex ratios, but general concordance with empirical data is rare. Recently, factors beyond the control of the mother, such as density and climate, were reported to affect offspring sex ratios, and the extrinsic ...

Social relationships and reproductive performance in group-living arctic blue foxes
The aim of the present work was to study social relationships and reproductivity in captive arctic blue fox groups of different genetic origin. The social status of the individuals among groups remained constant during autumn and early winter.

Hoof and foot loads for reindeer (Rangifer tarandus)
Hoof and foot measurements and body weights were taken from 60 living semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) (8 female and 13 male calves, 10 young females (age 2 yrs), 9 young males (age 2-3 yrs) and 20 adult hinds) at the Kaamanen ...

Abstract Northern peatlands are a globally significant source of methane (CH4), and emissions are projected to increase due to warming and permafrost loss. Understanding the microbial mechanisms behind patterns in CH4 production in peatlands will be key to predicting annual emissions changes, with stable carbon isotopes (δ13C‐CH4) being a powerful tool
