Shrubs Strongly Influence Snow Properties in Two Subarctic Watersheds Open
Understanding changes in snow distribution in permafrost ecosystems is fundamental to predicting their response to future climate change. The expansion of tall shrubs into tundra ecosystems can trap snow and insulate permafrost ecosystems …

Interannual Variations in Spring Snowmelt Timing of Alaskan Black Spruce Forests Using a Bulk‐Surface Energy Balance Approach Open
Spring snowmelt occurs for a short duration on an annual time scale, but their timings considerably affect the carbon and hydrological cycle in high‐latitude ecosystems. Here, we developed a simple snowmelt model, treating the ecosystem su…

Local-scale heterogeneity of soil thermal dynamics and controlling factors in a discontinuous permafrost region Open
In permafrost regions, the strong spatial and temporal variability in soil temperature cannot be explained by the weather forcing only. Understanding the local heterogeneity of soil thermal dynamics and their controls is essential to under…

Evaluating the Drought Code for lowland taiga of Interior Alaska using eddy covariance measurements Open
Background The Drought Code (DC) of the Canadian Fire Weather Index System (CFWIS) has been intuitively regarded by fire managers in Alaska, USA, as poorly representing the moisture content in the forest floor in lowland taiga forests on p…

Spatial patterns of snow distribution in the sub-Arctic Open
The spatial distribution of snow plays a vital role in sub-Arctic and Arctic climate, hydrology, and ecology due to its fundamental influence on the water balance, thermal regimes, vegetation, and carbon flux. However, the spatial distribu…

A distributed temperature profiling system for vertically and laterally dense acquisition of soil and snow temperature Open
Measuring soil and snow temperature with high vertical and lateral resolution is critical for advancing the predictive understanding of thermal and hydro-biogeochemical processes that govern the behavior of environmental systems. Verticall…
