Abstract:

In this larger study, we are asking the question: Is old carbon that comprises the bulk of the soil organic matter pool released in response to thawing of permafrost? We are answering this question by using a combination of field and laboratory experiments to measure radiocarbon isotope ratios in soil organic matter, soil respiration, and dissolved organic carbon, in tundra ecosystems. The objective of these proposed measurements is to develop a mechanistic understanding of the SOM sources contributing to C losses following permafrost thawing. We are making these measurements at an established tundra field site near Healy, Alaska in the foothills of the Alaska Range. Field measurements center on a natural experiment where permafrost has been observed to warm and thaw over the past several decades. This area represents a gradient of sites each with a different degree of change due to permafrost thawing. As such, this area is unique for addressing questions at the time and spatial scales relevant for change in arctic ecosystems. This data set includes soil moisture intergrate over a 20cm soil profile at different locations within gradient of sites described.

Description:

Experimental Design

The study site at the Eight Mile Lake watershed is located in the northern foothills of the Alaska Range. Permafrost temperature has been monitored annually on a gentle north-facing slope at this site, in a 30 m deep borehole that was installed in 1985 before the permafrost started to thaw. While permafrost thaw can sometimes result in water ponding depending on local topography, this landscape consists largely of relatively well-drained uplands. In this watershed, we monitored three sites that represented differing amounts of change as a result of permafrost thaw based on observations of ground subsidence and depth of thaw. Our minimal thaw site had the shallowest summer thaw depth and the least ground surface subsidence, and the vegetation was typical moist acidic tundra, dominated by the tussock-forming sedge, Eriophorum vaginatum, with coexisting deciduous and evergreen shrubs, and an understory of mosses and lichens. A second site, located adjacent to the borehole, had moderate summer thaw depths and increased ground subsidence. Here the vegetation composition was similar to our minimal thaw site, but with increased biomass of all plant groups. Lastly, an extensive thaw site was located in an area where permafrost degradation had occurred at least several decades prior to the establishment of the borehole; thermokarst can already be observed in air photos of the area taken in 1954. This site had the deepest summer thaw depth and the most ground subsidence, and the plant biomass has shifted to dominance by shrubs, including blueberry (Vaccinium uliginosum) and cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), at the expense of sedges. Three different locations within each one of the sites representing the permafrost thaw gradient were selected. Moisture sensors were located adjacent to the bases used to measure carbon fluxes (see flux file: EML_AK_Thaw gradient Carbon Fluxes) in August 2010.

Methods

Soil moisture was measured continuosly at 0 to 20 cm in the soil profile at three different locations within each one of the sites representing the permafrost thaw gradient. The water content reflectometers (CS615 and CS616) controlled by a CR1000 datalogger (Campbell Scientific, Logan Utah) were used to measure soil moisture. Data has site calibration and are not temperature corrected. We present data at 30 minutes resolution covering at least the growing season for the measured years at each site.
