Effect of permafrost degradation on carbon sequestration of alpine ecosystems.
Sci Total Environ
November 2023
Permafrost degradation profoundly affects carbon storage in alpine ecosystems, and the response characteristics of carbon sequestration are likely to differ at the different stages of permafrost degradation. Furthermore, the sensitivity of different stages of permafrost degradation to climate change is likely to vary. However, related research is lacking so far on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP).

- Forests impact climate through biochemical and biophysical processes, with biophysical effects being particularly significant in arid regions, which have been less studied compared to other zones.
- This study used measurements and modeling to assess how arid forests affect surface temperatures, finding that despite absorbing more radiation, these forests generally cool the temperature annually with notable seasonal variations.
- Evapotranspiration from the forests was the main factor in cooling, while surface albedo and incoming longwave radiation contributed to warming, indicating that arid forests play a crucial role in regulating climate trends.
