Rapid deglacial and early Holocene expansion of peatlands in Alaska.
Northern peatlands represent one of the largest biospheric carbon (C) reservoirs; however, the role of peatlands in the global carbon cycle remains intensely debated, owing in part to the paucity of detailed regional datasets and the complexity of the role of climate, ecosystem processes, and environmental factors in controlling peatland C dynamics. Here we used detailed C accumulation data fro...
متن کاملSiberian peatlands a net carbon sink and global methane source since the early Holocene.
Interpolar methane gradient (IPG) data from ice cores suggest the "switching on" of a major Northern Hemisphere methane source in the early Holocene. Extensive data from Russia's West Siberian Lowland show (i) explosive, widespread peatland establishment between 11.5 and 9 thousand years ago, predating comparable development in North America and synchronous with increased atmospheric methane co...
متن کاملHydrology-mediated differential response of carbon accumulation to late Holocene climate change at two peatlands in Southcentral Alaska
Peatlands are among the largest reservoirs of terrestrial carbon in the northern hemisphere. Understanding how this reservoir will respond to climate changes is critical to assessing potential climate feedbacks. Peatland carbon accumulation rates (PCAR) are controlled by the difference between production and decomposition, which is affected by local and climatic factors including hydrology and ...
متن کاملRapid thinning of Pine Island Glacier in the early Holocene.
Pine Island Glacier, a major outlet of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, has been undergoing rapid thinning and retreat for the past two decades. We demonstrate, using glacial-geological and geochronological data, that Pine Island Glacier (PIG) also experienced rapid thinning during the early Holocene, around 8000 years ago. Cosmogenic (10)Be concentrations in glacially transported rocks show that ...
متن کاملEarly settelment of the Holocene in the Kohgiluye region
Introduction The transition from hunter-gatherer to farmer- herder is one of the most important issues in archaeological research of the Holocene period. The Zagros region of Iran, especially its central parts, has had an important role in initial phases of Neolithic research in Iran. Until a decade ago, lack of evidence on the transitional period between the end of the EpiPalaeolithic period ...
