AI Article Synopsis

  • * A study focused on a Tibetan swamp meadow found significant NO emissions from recently thawed permafrost, particularly in soil patches exposed by thermokarst formation, which emitted rates comparable to agricultural and tropical soils.
  • * Soil microorganisms played a crucial role in the variability of NO emissions, and the greenhouse warming potential (GWP) of NO in these thawed areas can be as high as 60% of methane's GWP, indicating a significant climate warming feedback from permafrost thawing.

Article Abstract

Permafrost thawing may release nitrous oxide (NO) due to large N storage in cold environments. However, NO emissions from permafrost regions have received little attention to date, particularly with respect to the underlying microbial mechanisms. We examined the magnitude of NO fluxes following upland thermokarst formation along a 20-year thaw sequence within a thermo-erosion gully in a Tibetan swamp meadow. We also determined the importance of environmental factors and the related microbial functional gene abundance. Our results showed that permafrost thawing led to a mass release of NO in recently collapsed sites (3 years ago), particularly in exposed soil patches, which presented post-thaw emission rates equivalent to those from agricultural and tropical soils. In addition to abiotic factors, soil microorganisms exerted significant effects on the variability in the NO emissions along the thaw sequence and between vegetated and exposed patches. Overall, our results demonstrate that upland thermokarst formation can lead to enhanced NO emissions, and that the global warming potential (GWP) of NO at the thermokarst sites can reach 60% of the GWP of CH (vs ∼6% in control sites), highlighting the potentially strong noncarbon (C) feedback to climate warming in permafrost regions.
