Drying of tundra landscapes will limit subsidence-induced acceleration of permafrost thaw.
The Arctic is warming at a faster rate than any other biome on Earth, resulting in widespread changes in vegetation composition, structure, and function that have important feedbacks to the global climate system.
The anticipated approach for NGEE Arctic Phase 4 leverages computational, diagnostic, remote sensing, and data synthesis tools to quantify improvements in prediction of climate–ecosystem feedbacks at the global scale in an Arctic-informed version of the land surface component of the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). NGEE Arctic Phase 4 will deliver an unprecedented ability to predict the consequences of interacting Arctic processes for the global climate.
The presence and thawing of permafrost strongly control both gradual and catastrophic movements of soil on watershed hillslopes in complex and often difficult to predict patterns and rates.
Nitrous oxide strongly inhibits CH4 and MeHg formation, resulting from the complicated interplay of microbial processes in anoxic soils that ultimately determine how climate change will influence greenhouse gas formation and mercury transformation in the Arctic ecosystem.
