Rising global temperatures tied to increases in greenhouse gas emissions are impacting high latitude regions, leading changes vegetation composition and feedbacks climate through increased methane (CH4) emissions. In subarctic peatlands, permafrost collapse has led shifts species on landscape scales with spatial heterogeneity. Our goal was provide a baseline for distribution related biogeochemical processes. We collected unmanned aerial system (UAS) imagery at Stordalen Mire, Abisko, Sweden...
Global atmospheric methane concentrations are rapidly rising and becoming isotopically more depleted, implying an unresolved microbial contribution. Rising Arctic temperatures variably altering soil cycling, causing consequential uncertainty in the budget. We demonstrated wetland that below-ground microbiota methane-cycling features parallelled above-ground plant communities. To upscale emissions, we applied machine learning to remote sensing data identify habitats, which were assigned...
