Here, we use empirical relationships of foliar Hg uptake by forest tree species to produce a spatially highly resolved (1 km2) map of foliar Hg fluxes to European forests over one

Seasonal Tropospheric Distribution and Air-Sea Fluxes of Atmospheric Potential Oxygen From Global Airborne Observations Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-27 Yuming Jin, Britton B. Stephens, Ralph F. Keeling, Eric J. Morgan, Christian Rödenbeck, Prabir K. Patra, Matthew C. Long
Seasonal change of atmospheric potential oxygen (APO ∼ O2 + CO2) is a tracer for air-sea O2 flux with little sensitivity to the terrestrial exchange of O2 and CO2. In this study, we present the tropospheric distribution and inventory of APO in each hemisphere with seasonal resolution, using O2 and CO2 measurements from discrete airborne campaigns between 2009 and 2018. The airborne data are represented

Arctic Permafrost Thawing Enhances Sulfide Oxidation Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-22 Preston Cosslett Kemeny, Gen K. Li, Madison Douglas, William Berelson, Austin J. Chadwick, Nathan F. Dalleska, Michael P. Lamb, William Larsen, John S. Magyar, Nick E. Rollins, Joel Rowland, M. Isabel Smith, Mark A. Torres, Samuel M. Webb, Woodward W. Fischer, A. Joshua West
Permafrost degradation is altering biogeochemical processes throughout the Arctic. Thaw-induced changes in organic matter transformations and mineral weathering reactions are impacting fluxes of inorganic carbon (IC) and alkalinity (ALK) in Arctic rivers. However, the net impact of these changing fluxes on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (pCO2) is relatively unconstrained. Resolving

Rapid Expansion of Fixed Nitrogen Deficit in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Revealed by 50-Years Time Series Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-16 Natalya Evans, Juliana Tichota, Wendi Ruef, James Moffett, Allan Devol
Climate change is expected to increase the strength of ocean Oxygen Deficient Zones (ODZs), but we lack a detailed understanding of the temporal or spatial variability of these ODZs. A 50-year time series in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) ODZ revealed that it has strengthened by 30% from 1994 to 2019. We subdivided the ODZ into a core and a deep layer based on potential density and revealed

Sources and Fate of Sedimentary Organic Matter in the Western Mediterranean Sea Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-16 Blanca Ausín, Gina Bossert, Nicola Krake, Sarah Paradis, Negar Haghipour, Xavier Durrieu de Madron, Belén Alonso, Timothy Eglinton
Marine sediments comprise the primary long-term sink of organic matter (OM) in marine systems. Disentangling the diverse origins of OM and the influence of the main processes that determine organic carbon (OC) fate at a global scale has proven difficult due to limited spatial data coverage. Thus, comprehensive studies of the spatial distribution of the content and geochemical characteristics of sedimentary

Simultaneous Production and Consumption of Soil N2O Creates Complex Effects on Its Stable Isotope Composition Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-08 Ronald Amundson, Jennifer V. Mills, Laura N. Lammers, Matti Barthel, Nora Gallarotti, Johan Six, Gerhard Gebauer, Greg E. Maurer
The stable N and O isotope composition of soil and soil-respired N2O is increasingly measured, yet a solid theoretical framework for interpreting the data remains to be developed. Here, the physical processes that affect soil N2O and its isotopes are embedded in a diffusion/reaction model. Numerical experiments are compared to data to demonstrate how various soil processes influence depth profiles

Changes in Dissolved Inorganic Carbon Across Yangtze River Regulated by Dam and River-Lake Exchange Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-08 Chu Zhao, Chuan Wang, Jianhong Li, Lize Meng, Jingya Xue, Yang Gao, Tao Huang, Yixin Bai, Shuaidong Li, Hao Yang, Kun Shi, Yuanhui Xu, Changchun Huang
The boom in dam construction and continuous river-lake exchange has had a profound impact on the transmission and transformation of riverine dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). An in-depth understanding of the change mechanisms of DIC concentrations and sources driven by dam operation and lake recharge is crucial for regulating greenhouse gas emissions and evaluating the impact of DIC on the global carbon

Resolving the Carbon-Climate Feedback Potential of Wetland CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in Alaska Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-07 Shuang Ma, A. Anthony Bloom, Jennifer D. Watts, Gregory R. Quetin, Zona Donatella, Eugénie S. Euskirchen, Alexander J. Norton, Yi Yin, Paul A. Levine, Renato K. Braghiere, Nicholas C. Parazoo, John R. Worden, David S. Schimel, Charles E. Miller
Boreal-Arctic regions are key stores of organic carbon (C) and play a major role in the greenhouse gas balance of high-latitude ecosystems. The carbon-climate (C-climate) feedback potential of northern high-latitude ecosystems remains poorly understood due to uncertainty in temperature and precipitation controls on carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake and the decomposition of soil C into CO2 and methane (CH4)

Decadal Changes in Anthropogenic Inputs and Precipitation Influence Riverine Exports of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus, and Alter Ecosystem Level Stoichiometry Glob. Biogeochem. Cycles (IF 5.2) Pub Date : 2023-08-31 Stéphanie Shousha, Roxane Maranger, Jean-François Lapierre
Changes in precipitation and land use influence carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) exports from land to receiving waters. However, how these drivers differentially alter elemental inputs and impact subsequent ecosystem stoichiometry over time remains poorly understood. Here, we quantified long-term (1979–2020) trends in C, N, and P exports at three sites along the mainstem of a north temperate
