Climate-Biosphere Interaction

The terrestrial biosphere, predominantly the vegetation, is controlled by the climate. In turn, the vegetation affects the climate through numerous biogeophysical and biogeochemical processes. As an example, a boreal forest pumps water out of the ground, traps solar irradiation at the surface by masking snow cover in spring, and stores an ample amount of carbon in biomass and litter. On the long term, the vegetation alters soils, creates its own local environment, and affects climate far beyond its own boundaries.

How strong are interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and the climate, such as feedback between the carbon cycle and climate (see figure 1)? Could external forcings, for example CO2-induced warming or deforestation, lead to abrupt transitions in natural ecosystems reflected in changes in precipitation and temperature as well as in their extremes? To address these questions, our group develops and uses models of different complexity, from simple conceptual models to sophisticated Earth System models.

Figure 1: Conceptual representation of the interaction between atmospheric CO2 and land surface temperature. Input: CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and deforestation. Currently, about 44% of emissions remain in the atmosphere, about 30% are taken up by land — largely through CO2 fertilization (blue arrow), and the rest by the ocean. A rise in temperature due to the greenhouse effect (red arrow) reduces carbon uptake by land because of greater CO2 respiration (blue arrow). The reduction in carbon uptake by land results in an increase in atmospheric CO2 representing a positive (amplifying) feedback (Adapted from Brovkin & Gayler, PROMET, 105, 61 – 68, 2022).

Despite of ongoing deforestation, the land takes up about 30% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions today. This enormous service of the land biosphere to humans helps to slow down global warming, but the capacity of land to absorb fossil CO2 emissions is limited. If fossil fuel emissions stop, the land will still continue to take up some carbon, but at a much smaller rate. To understand and project future climate, it is very important to know how exactly the land biosphere responds to climate and CO2 changes on these time scales. 

Our research

Climate-biosphere interactions is an enormous research area, with fascinating examples from the past (green Sahara, glacial cycles), present (land CO2 fertilization), and future (carbon-climate feedback). Out of many research opportunities, the main focus of our group is on processes affecting the climate on decadal to centennial timescales. In particular, high latitude ecosystems show a strong sensitivity to ongoing climate change, with a significant potential to affect the climate though modified CO2 and CH4 fluxes. Physical feedbacks between land surface hydrology and the climate could substantially modify atmospheric and oceanic circulations beyond the Arctic boundaries. What is the future of the Arctic, will it be drier or wetter, and how does it affect the global climate?

Permafrost and carbon dynamics

High latitude ecosystems have served as a slow but permanent carbon sink during the last millennia and continue to take up carbon at present (e.g., Bruhwiler et al., 2021). A unique feature of this region is the presence of permanently frozen soils, which contain substantial amounts of carbon accumulated during glacial cycles, but also water in the form of ground ice. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the average rate of warming for the planet as a whole. What is the fate of frozen carbon in the future, and are changes in permafrost and carbon irreversible?

The most recent IPCC Assessment Report estimates a release from permafrost regions of 18 PgC (uncertainty range 3.1–41 PgC) per one degree of global temperature rise by the year 2100. Simulations done in our group fall within this uncertainty range. How much is it in comparison with the fossil fuel emissions? The carbon emissions needed to raise the global temperature by 1°C in the MPI Earth System Model are about 600 PgC (MacDougal et al., 2020). Additional CO2 emissions coming from permafrost thawing amplify the climate change by 2-10% (Kleinen and Brovkin, 2018), which is not negligible. It cannot, however, lead to a runaway effect, in which greenhouse warming reinforces itself eventually leading to the evaporation of all liquid water on the planet, similar to the climate on Venus. Stronger thawing is expected by the year 2300 (Figure 2) for the high-end RCP8.5 scenario (Figure 2).

Carbon frozen soil layers

The Black line stands for historic period (1850-2005), blue for the low-end emission scenario RCP2.6, yellow for the intermediate scenario RCP4.5, and red for the high-end emission scenario RCP8.5 that leads to the complete thawing of frozen carbon in the upper 3 meters of soil. The Shaded areas show uncertainty envelopes (Kleinen and Brovkin, Environmental Research Letters, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aad824).

Interactions between land surface processes and climate could lead to the phenomenon of multiple steady states. One famous example is the feedback between atmospheric circulation and the vegetation cover in North Africa that could explain the substantial greening of the Sahara in the mid-Holocene. Several studies suggest that, for present-day, both desert and green states are potentially stable in North Africa, and the transition between them could be rather abrupt (link to Martin’s page). For permafrost soils, interactions between soil temperature, water, and organic carbon could result in two different states: dry, organic-poor, warmer soil, and wet, organic-rich, colder soil. The difference between these two states could be regionally very substantial (Figure 3).

Another example of alternative steady states comes from the analysis of remote sensing data (Abis and Brovkin, Biogeosciences, 2017). When we studied the link between observed tree-cover fraction distribution in boreal regions with mean annual rainfall, minimum temperature, permafrost distribution, soil moisture, wildfire frequency, and soil texture, we found areas with potentially alternative tree cover states (forest, mixed, treeless) under the same environmental conditions. These areas, although encompassing a minor fraction of the boreal area (ca. 5 %), correspond to possible transition zones with a reduced resilience to disturbances. (Figure 4).

Regions colored in green represent monostable areas, shaded according to the three dominant vegetation modes inferred from remote sensing: Forest, Open woodland and Treeless. These modes correspond to remotely sensed tree‐cover fraction values above 45%, between 20% and 45%, and below 20%, respectively. Regions in shades of blue correspond to multi-stable areas, where alternative tree‐cover states are found under the same environmental conditions.

Closing the scaling gap between fine-scale processes and Earth System Models in the Arctic

The Arctic landscape is a mixture of open water, wetlands, forest and tundra. Current Earth system models have too coarse a spatial resolution (ca 100 km) to capture processes on a fine-scale of few meters. How can we deal with this extreme heterogeneity of the land surface? To close the scaling gap, our group develops an upscaling approach to link micro-, meso-, and macro scales (Figure 5). We are enhancing the resolution of our land surface model ICON-Land/JSBACH down to a few kilometers, aiming at running it on a pan-Arctic scale in the synergy project Q-ARCTIC, recently funded by the European Research Council. We are working on this in collaboration with research groups focused on remote sensing of the environment and vegetation in the Arctic (b.geos) and local scale observations and regional inversions of greenhouse gas fluxes (MPI-BGC).

Schickhoff et al., in progress, detail right center and right: V. Brovkin

Processes on a fine scale are highly parameterized in large-scale models. If we consider an example of very small water bodies or ponds, they contribute disproportionally to the Arctic methane emissions. Methane concentrations in ponds vary strongly, calling for process-based understanding of variability. To do so, Rehder et al. (2021) categorized polygonal-tundra ponds in the Lena River Delta into three geomorphological types with distinct differences in drivers of methane concentrations: polygonal-center ponds, ice-wedge ponds and larger, merged polygonal ponds (Figure, left and center). They found that methane concentrations negatively correlate with the size of the pond: the smaller the pond, the higher the surface concentrations of methane (Figure, right). Also, no single driver (such as wind speed, water temperature, or water depth) could explain variability over all pond types suggesting that more complex upscaling methods such as process-based modeling are needed.

Modeling wetlands and the methane cycle

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas produced in anaerobic conditions, in particular in inundated soils (wetlands). Although the feedback between climate and methane is not as strong as between CO2 and temperature, increasing CO2 concentrations and changes in the surface hydrology are leading to substantial increases in wetland emissions to the atmosphere in future scenarios. These changes are underestimated in the current sets of future projections (Figure 7). Natural sources of methane are also becoming important in the climate stabilization scenarios when the global temperature increase relative to pre-industrial is kept below a certain threshold such as 1.5 or 2°C.

Figure 7: Global atmospheric concentration of methane (parts per billion, ppb) in interactive MPI-ESM experiments until 3000 CE (Kleinen et al, 2021) and CMIP6 scenarios (Meinshausen et al., 2020). Kleinen et al, 2021, CC BY 4.0

In short — very unlikely, but we cannot completely rule it out. Our group is involved in a joint project with the marine biogeochemistry groups focusing on the potential release of methane from sub-sea permafrost thawing.

During glacial cycles, the shallow Arctic shelf was land exposed to freezing temperatures that accumulated organic matter during short but productive summers. After the melting of the ice sheets, the shelf was flooded and frozen sediments are now slowly thawing from the top but also from the bottom due to a geothermal heat flux. Under warming scenarios, the ocean floor will warm and ice in the sediments will melt, allowing microbes to decompose previously frozen organic matter. This process leads to in-situ production of methane, one part of which could be eaten up by methane-consuming microbes in the sediments, and another part of which can escape into the atmosphere. The stronger the warming, the more ice will melt in the sediments (Figure 8). This process is very slow, but under certain scenarios, by the year 2300, the methane emissions from the shelf could be more than the methane emission from boreal wetlands (work in progress).

Figure 8: Simulations of subsea ice column melting (meters) for the three scenarios in the period 1850–3000 AD (Wilkenskjeld et al., The Cryosphere, 2022). The stabilization scenario (SSP1-2.6, left) leads to minor changes, while the high-end emission scenario (SSP5-8.5, right) leads to strong changes with a maximum at the Siberian coast. Response in the SSP4-4.5 scenario is shown in the middle. (Wilkenskjeld et al., 2022, DOI, CC BY 4.0)
