PeCHEc Project

How do animals affect Arctic soils in a warming climate, and how could this be used in land use management strategies? We explore this in a comprehensive way in our latest publication doi.org/10.1080/152304… @RIFS_Potsdam @AWI_Media

This new study on reindeer impact on soil carbon storage revealed that animal impacts are very different for permafrost and non-permafrost areas but facilitates more productive vegetation @PecHEc_project @AWI_de @CharterArctic Read more here: borenv.net/BER/archive/pd…

While calculating carbon budgets is crucial in climate science, #ecology and its complexities can often cause some headaches. @WindirschTorben eases these by taking you into the #Arctic and shares how #reindeer can impact #permafrost there and more! blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cr/2…

Was invited to the @CharterArctic General Assembly meeting, catching up with many colleagues and discussing interesting data and ideas from @PeCHEc_project

Attention #Bremen: Next week you can visit a really *cool* Pavillon on digital #Arctic Worlds at the Explore Science Festival @ktstiftung @AWI_Media @UAgenten @Permafrost_RS ➡️ Meet @RungeAlexandra @tabearettelbach @WindirschTorben & experience permafrost from the satellite‘s eye

Proud to have published the first article on my PhD topic 😎 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Our first project paper dealing with herbivory effects on permafrost carbon storage in northeastern Siberia has just been published in Frontiers in Environmental Science: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Field trip successful, now heading back with a total of 105 samples, 10 sites and 5 different reindeer 🦌grazing intensities 😎 - with @WindirschTorben @JSchwrzr

Another successful field day and more beautiful peat cores from different reindeer grazing intensities! - with @WindirschTorben @JSchwrzr

@WindirschTorben @JSchwrzr

First core of the trip! Reached 135 cm on an intensively used winter reindeer feeding area. Main goal 1/3 reached!

We‘re off to one more field campaign within this project - to northern Finland! - with @WindirschTorben @JSchwrzr

The first PeCHEc paper on grazing impacts on permafrost is now available for discussion!

🌟 I'm so happy to share with you the publication of my first lead-authored paper! 📄🌟 doi.org/10.3390/rs1316… @grosse_guido @i_nitze @TundraTime @AWI_Media @Geo_X_

Great article about climate warming challenges in strategies in the Arctic (in German): spektrum.de/news/renaturie…

CHARTER field work and summer plans Pic: from the Yamal peninsula, by @JTKerby @InsideNatGeo charter-arctic.org/fieldwork-roun…

Two days of flying under good weather conditions so far. And already 3.5 TB of images. Let's hope we brought enough hard drives for backups ;) Anyway, here are some impressions from the first flights 🛩️ #PermaX @AWI_Media

Want to keep track of new Arctic & Alpine projects this summer? @HerbivoryN follows many other research groups with great interest! Some listed here as a public service 🙂: @TundrAsalad @VegDyn @APopbio @GEO_Mountains @SoilTemp_proj @PeCHEc_project @UFZ_GCEF @CharterArctic /1of2

Supplementary feeding of #reindeer has expanded considerably across herding areas of Norway, Finland and Sweden with considerable consequences for animals and people.
