Fig. 4: Projected change in soil carbon pools through 2100.
From: Local-scale Arctic tundra heterogeneity affects regional-scale carbon dynamics
Simulated change in soil carbon among all polygonal tundra landforms (a; DS drained slope, HC high center, FC flat center, LC low center LC, nDTLB nonpatterned drained thaw lake basins) and landform groups (b) forced using CCCMA A2 and ECHAM5 B1 climate and emission pathways for our study region. Climate forcing for CCCMA A2 and ECHAM5 B1 are comparable to RCPs 6.0 and 4.5, respectively. Cluster analysis using key hydrologic and biogeochemical characteristics facilitated in the grouping of data for model re-parameterization and re-calibration of landform groups (b).
