Porewater chemistry is an integrative measure of the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring within peatland ecosystems, and therefore some chemistry measures (e.g., pH, calcium concentrations) have been used to classify bog vs fen peatlands. However, porewater sampling is often limited in spatial and temporal resolution, highlighting the need for a more...
Widespread changes in arctic and boreal Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values captured by satellite platforms indicate that northern ecosystems are experiencing rapid ecological change in response to climate warming. Increasing temperatures and altered hydrology are driving shifts in ecosystem biophysical properties that, observed by satellites, manifest...
