Methane and soil carbon fluxes in permafrost environments Predicted global warming will be largest in the Arctic and will severely affect permafrost environments. By increased soil temperature, active layer thickness and primary production this may cause higher methane fluxes from the vast northern lowlands in Eurasia. In this research, part of the EU funded TCOS project, methane fluxes from Siberian tundra and taiga ecosystems are quantified and related to permafrost characteristics. Cooperation with the Yakut institute of Biology
Paleo-carbon fluxes from terrestrial environments. Ice cores
show
major perturbations of the global carbon cycle in conjunction with
rapid
climate change during the last glacial. This projects includes
reconstruction
of paleo-carbon fluxes during the Quaternary, from paleo-ecological
data
in combination with modelling.
