Siberian forests comprise ~ 10% of the global C stored in vegetation and soils, and contribute up to 10% of the global terrestrial net primary productivity

Boreal forests

The world's largest land biome, and makes up 29% of the world's forest cover with the largest areas located in Russia and Canada Peylin et al., 2013

Top-down/bottom-up observation strategies

…uses observations of the atmospheric composition at remote locations and

  • nly insignificantly influenced by local

processes …is based on local in-situ observations

  • f fluxes or changes in ecosystems, to be

extrapolated and scaled up in order to make inferences at continental scale ‘bottom-up’ ‘top-down’ Tall Towers bridge the gap in scales between global integrative approaches and local process studies

  • Remote estimates of atmospheric composition in fire plumes (trace gases,

aerosols) over the large area of Central Siberia;

  • Emission ratios, factors and other gas/aerosol related parameters (averaged

and site-specific) to be used in terms of C emission estimates;

  • Biomass burning emissions (total and site-specific);
  • Remote and field-based identification of biological sources of OM in wildfire

plumes – and conversely - remote detection of fire characteristics based on the biomarkers;

  • Feedback modeling of different research outputs in this platform: atmospheric

composition, ground estimates and the remote sensing data;

  • Temporal and spatial estimates of carbon changes in different Central Siberian

ecosystems after wildfires (long-term task);

  • Linking

ecosystem signal during restoration after wildfires and the atmospheric response (short-term/long-term).
