Recent estimates indicated that the 2020 fires contributed 66% of the region's burned area over the last two decades. These fires burned in the carbon-rich permafrost landscape, releasing vast amounts of carbon, and changing land surface processes by burning vegetation and organic soils. However, little is known about the mosaics of burned and unburned patches formed by tundra fires and the underlying processes that generate them. In this study, we investigated six fire scars in the northeastern Siberian tundra using high-resolution PlanetScope imagery (3 m) to map burned fraction within the scars. We then used Bayesian mixed models to identify which biotic and abiotic predictors influenced the burned fraction. We observed high spatial variation in burned fraction across all tundra landforms common to the region. Current medium-resolution fire products could not capture this heterogeneity, thereby underestimating the burned area of fire scars by a factor of 1.2–4.7. The heterogeneity of the burn mosaic indicates a mix of burned and unburned patches, with median unburned patch sizes ranging between 189 and 288 m² per fire scar. Pre-fire land surface temperature, vegetation heterogeneity and topography predicted burned fraction in our analysis, matching factors previously shown to influence large-scale fire occurrence in the Arctic. Future studies need to consider the fine-scale heterogeneity within tundra landscapes to improve our understanding and predictions of fire spread, carbon emissions, post-fire recovery and ecosystem functioning.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JG008608","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143622522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the strong collinearity between VPD and SM, particularly under certain climatic conditions, makes it challenging to disentangle their independent contributions to carbon and water dynamics in land-atmosphere interactions. This study aimed to clarify the long-term independent response of global vegetation carbon-water coupling, based on ecosystem water-use efficiency (WUE_E) and plant canopy water-use efficiency (WUE_Et), to decoupled VPD and SM from 1982 to 2100. WUE_E is defined as the ratio of ecosystem gross primary productivity to evapotranspiration, while WUE_Et is defined as the ratio of ecosystem gross primary productivity to vegetation transpiration. The results indicate that from 1982 to 2018, both before and after the decoupling of VPD and SM, over 64% of global vegetation zones experienced stronger atmospheric moisture stress from VPD than soil drought stress from SM, consistently impacting WUE_E and WUE_Et. The influence of VPD on WUE_E and WUE_Et gradually declined, while the influence of SM presented a tendency to increase. The small difference in the responses of WUE_E and WUE_Et to VPD and SM is attributed to the strong collinearity between WUE_E and WUE_Et. The effects of VPD and SM on WUE_E and WUE_Et varied across vegetation cover gradients, biomes, and climatic zones. As atmospheric and soil drought intensifies in the coming decades, the effects of VPD on WUE_E and WUE_Et stress are stronger than those of SM across all four socio-economic shared pathway (SSP) scenarios. In the high SSP scenarios (SSP5-8.5 for WUE_E and SSP3-7.0 for WUE_Et), the dominant influence of VPD is expected to expand.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143595245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As forests face unprecedented stability risks in the face of ongoing climate change, much remains unknown regarding how management will impact forest stability, or how interactions with climate might shift the response of forests to management across spatiotemporal scales. Here, we used a process-based model to simulate multidecadal projections of forest dynamics in response to changes in management and climate. Simulations were conducted across gradients in forest type, edaphic factors, and management intensity under two alternate radiative forcing scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). This allowed for the quantification of forest stability shifts in response to climate change, and the role of management in modulating that response, where ecosystem stability is characterized as the resilience and temporal stability of net primary production, aboveground biomass, and soil carbon. Our results indicate that forest structure is primarily shaped by management, but the same management strategy often produced divergent structures over time, due to interactions with regional climate change. We found that management can be used to increase stability and minimize the release of stored carbon by reducing mortality, but also highlight the regional dependency of management-induced changes in resilience to climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024JG008391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143581507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the impact of the typhoon on nitrous oxide (N₂O) dynamics in coastal bays, which are the most active areas of N₂O production in the ocean. Employing the ¹⁵N stable isotope labeling technique, coupled with stable isotope mass spectrometry and analysis of key biogeochemical parameters, we conducted a series of five continuous cruises before (one cruise) and after typhoons Chaba (four cruises) in Zhanjiang Bay, a semiclosed coastal bay in the northern South China Sea. Our results showed that the landfall of the typhoon led to a sharp decrease in N₂O concentration in Zhanjiang Bay. However, the typhoon also triggered a substantial production of N₂O in both water column and sedimentary environments, therefore facilitating a rapid recovery of N₂O levels within a short period. In the water column, typhoon-induced enhancement of in situ N₂O production could be attributed to a substantial input of nutrients and terrestrial particles, which creates an anaerobic or hypoxic microenvironment conducive to N₂O production. Concurrently, in the sediment, the deposition of particles derived from typhoon-induced phytoplankton blooms introduces a large amount of fresh particulate organic matter, further promoting N₂O production. Our findings suggest that typhoons are an efficient nitrogen removal process, which has been previously underestimated. By elucidating aspects of the nitrogen cycle in bays during typhoons, this research aids in shaping policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions triggered by typhoons.</p>","PeriodicalId":16003,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences","volume":"130 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This resulted in the first basin-wide and depth-resolving (100–1,000 m) OCRR and CCPR estimates. Spatial distributions for Γ, AOU, and AU were strongly influenced by the large-scale circulation and showed maxima intermediate depths (400–500 m).

High correlation between AU and Γ indicated in situ alkalinity removal taking place also in subsurface and deep waters, probably due to chemical precipitation, which has been previously reported for the area.

Although the consequences of drying on CO₂ emissions have been recently quantified, its effects on stream metabolism are still poorly studied. We addressed the long-term effects of drying and rewetting events on stream metabolism by monitoring oxygen dynamics at 20 reaches across a drying river network, including perennial (PR) and nonperennial reaches (NPR) for one year. We also calculated several climatic and land use variables and characterized local abiotic conditions and biofilm and sediment communities at five sampling dates. ER was significantly higher in NPR than in PR reaches demonstrating in situ the effects of drying on stream metabolism. When analyzing the long-term drivers of ER and GPP, we found a direct positive effect of drying on ER and a negative effect on GPP. Drying also altered microbial community composition with algal communities from NPRs being different from those in PRs. In the short-term, the total oxygen consumption (respiration) during rewetting events was positively related to the duration of precedent nonflow period.

Net emission of CH₄ depends on the presence of more favorable terminal electron acceptors for microbial respiration, such as ferric iron (Fe(III)). In soils with high OC content, Fe(III) is often coprecipitated with organic carbon (OC). The presence of Fe(III)-OC coprecipitates could either suppress CH₄ emissions due to inhibition of methanogenesis and stimulation of anaerobic methane oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction, or enhance emissions by providing additional OC. Here, we investigated the role of Fe(III)-OC coprecipitates in net CH₄ release in a fully thawed, waterlogged permafrost peatland (Stordalen Mire, Abisko, Sweden). We synthesized Fe(III)-OC coprecipitates using natural organic matter from the field site and added them to waterlogged soil in a microcosm experiment and in situ, and followed Fe speciation and changes in greenhouse gas emissions over time. Fe(III)-OC coprecipitates were partially reduced (22%) within 42 days in the microcosm experiment, while almost full reduction (92 ± 4%) occurred in situ within 53 days. This led to a decrease in CH₄ emissions by 94% and 40% in the microcosm and field experiments, respectively, compared to no-coprecipitate controls. A decrease in both RNA-based <i>mcrA</i> copy numbers and relative abundance of detected methanogens indicated that methanogenesis was mainly inhibited by the addition of the coprecipitates due to microbial Fe(III) reduction.

The transition of sites from one ecological state to another (e.g., grassland to shrubland) is typically associated with changes in the composition, cover, and structure of vegetation, which influence drag partitioning and wind shear velocities that drive aeolian sediment transport. Here, we quantify the magnitude and direction of aeolian sediment transport responses to ecological state change in the northern Chihuahuan Desert and identify thresholds associated with state transitions. Our results show aeolian sediment mass flux (<i>Q</i>) increased from ∼1 to 10 g m⁻¹ d⁻¹ in historical grassland with scattered shrubs to ∼10–100 g m⁻¹ d⁻¹ following shrub invasion and decline in perennial grass cover to ∼100–10,000 g m⁻¹ d⁻¹ in shrubland following complete grass loss.
