项目摘要

Arctic terrestrial ecosystems exchange greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane), water vapor, and energy with the atmosphere. The balance between uptake and release of these quantities influences both the Arctic region and the global climate system. The terrestrial cycling of carbon, water, and energy are strongly linked, and therefore need to be studied at the same time and in the same place. This project continues long-term measurements of carbon, water, and energy balance in terrestrial and freshwater systems in the Alaskan Arctic, extending measurements that began in 2007. Carbon loss over the winter has recently increased dramatically at one of our study sites, as winter air and soil temperatures have warmed. This study will determine whether these losses continue and seek to understand the underlying causes. Broader impacts of this project include contributions to teaching and learning, including underrepresented groups, support of undergraduate summer research, participation in the Marine Biology Laboratory Logan Science Journalism program and the Arctic LTER Schoolyard program, and outreach to K-12 schools in Fairbanks, Alaska, and to Native Alaskan communities. This project will support career development of two female Principal Investigators at UAF.The proposed research will extend continuous measurements of carbon, water, and energy balance in three tundra ecosystems near Imnavait Creek, Alaska. Ecosystem/atmosphere flux measurements have been collected at these sites via eddy covariance since 2007. Long-term monitoring of hydrology and stream chemistry of Imnavait Creek and depth of thaw in its catchment area will be maintained. Additional measurements to help interpret these data will include water table depth, plant community composition, and vegetation greenness via reflectivity, which is related to leaf area and biomass. Long-term measurements of stream chemistry and discharge are also available at Imnavait, enabling a comprehensive assessment of carbon budgets. All data will be made publicly available and archived at the Arctic Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) web site, the International Arctic Research Center Data Archive, and the Advanced Cooperative Arctic Data and Information Service (ACADIS).

北极陆地生态系统交换温室气体（二氧化碳和甲烷），水蒸气和能量与大气。吸收和释放之间的平衡会影响北极地区和全球气候系统。碳，水和能量的陆地循环密切相关，因此需要同时和同一位置进行研究。该项目继续在阿拉斯加北极的陆地和淡水系统中对碳，水和能量平衡的长期测量，扩大了始于2007年的测量。由于冬季空气和土壤温度加热，冬季的碳损失最近在我们的一个研究地点急剧增加。这项研究将确定这些损失是否继续并寻求理解基本原因。该项目的更广泛影响包括对教学的贡献，包括代表性不足的群体，对本科夏季研究的支持，参加海洋生物学实验室洛根科学新闻计划和北极校园校园计划以及向费尔班克斯，阿拉斯加，阿拉斯加的K-12学校的宣传。该项目将支持UAF的两名女性主要研究人员的职业发展。拟议的研究将在阿拉斯加Imnavait Creek附近的三个苔原生态系统中延长碳，水和能量平衡的连续测量。自2007年以来，已经通过涡流协方差在这些地点收集了生态系统/大气通量测量。将维持对Imnavait Creek的水文学和溪流化学的长期监测以及其集水区的融化深度。通过反射率与叶片面积和生物量有关的反射率，可以帮助解释这些数据的其他测量以帮助解释这些数据。 IMNAVAIT还提供了流化学和排放的长期测量，从而可以对碳预算进行全面评估。所有数据将在北极长期生态研究（LTER）网站，国际北极研究中心数据档案和高级合作北极数据和信息服务（ACADIS）中公开提供并存档。
