Journal ArticleDOI
Missing pieces to modeling the Arctic-Boreal puzzle
Joshua B. Fisher,Daniel J. Hayes,Christopher R. Schwalm,Deborah N. Huntzinger,Eric Stofferahn,Kevin Schaefer,Yiqi Luo,Stan D. Wullschleger,Scott J. Goetz,Charles E. Miller,P. C. Griffith,Sarah Chadburn,Abhishek Chatterjee,Abhishek Chatterjee,Philippe Ciais,Thomas A. Douglas,Hélène Genet,Akihiko Ito,Christopher S.R. Neigh,Benjamin Poulter,Brendan M. Rogers,Oliver Sonnentag,Hanqin Tian,Weile Wang,Weile Wang,Yongkang Xue,Zong-Liang Yang,Ning Zeng,Zhen Zhang +28 more
TL;DR: Fisher et al. as discussed by the authors compiled feedback from ecosystem modeling teams on key data needs, which encompass carbon biogeochemistry, vegetation, permafrost, hydrology, and disturbance dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving simulated soil temperatures and soil freeze/thaw at high‐latitude regions in the Simple Biosphere/Carnegie‐Ames‐Stanford Approach model
TL;DR: This paper improved simulated soil temperatures at high latitudes by incorporating a snow classification scheme that includes depth hoar development and wind compaction, including the effects of organic matter on soil physical properties, and increasing the soil column depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remotely Sensed Active Layer Thickness (ReSALT) at Barrow, Alaska Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
Kevin Schaefer,Lin Liu,Andrew D. Parsekian,Elchin Jafarov,A.C. Chen,Tingjun Zhang,Alessio Gusmeroli,Santosh Panda,Howard A. Zebker,Tim Schaefer +9 more
TL;DR: ReSALT accurately reproduced observed ALT within uncertainty of the GPR and probing data in ~76% of the study area and remote sensing techniques based on InSAR could be an effective way to measure and monitor ALT over large areas on the Arctic coastal plain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of hydrological variations on modeling of peatland CO2 fluxes: Results from the North American Carbon Program site synthesis
Benjamin N. Sulman,Ankur R. Desai,Nicole M. Schroeder,Daniel M. Ricciuto,Alan G. Barr,Andrew D. Richardson,Lawrence B. Flanagan,Peter M. Lafleur,Hanqin Tian,Guangsheng Chen,Robert F. Grant,Benjamin Poulter,Hans Verbeeck,Philippe Ciais,Bruno Ringeval,Ian Baker,Kevin Schaefer,Yiqi Luo,Ensheng Weng +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, seven ecosystem models were used to simulate CO2fluxes at three wetland sites in Canada and the northern United States, including two nutrient-rich fens and one nutrient-poor,sphagnum-dominated bog, over periods between 1999 and 2007.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inference of the impact of wildfire on permafrost and active layer thickness in a discontinuous permafrost region using the remotely sensed active layer thickness (ReSALT) algorithm
R. J. Michaelides,Kevin Schaefer,Howard A. Zebker,Andrew D. Parsekian,Lin Liu,Jingyi Chen,Susan M. Natali,S. Ludwig,Sean R Schaefer +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the remotely sensed active layer thickness (ReSALT) algorithm was used to resolve the post-fire active layer dynamics of tundra permafrost in the YK Delta.
