Soil organic and phytomass carbon stocks in mountain periglacial settings of Vindelfjällen (Sweden) by Christina Fröjd, Berta González Sánchez, Peter Kuhry

“…Mean phytomass C storage is 0.36 kg C m−2, with birch forest storing on average about twenty times more phytomass C (4.41 kg C m−2) compared to the mean for the upland alpine tundra classes (0.20 kg C m−2). Projected increases in ambient temperatures will likely result in an upward shift of the tree line and the alpine vegetation belt with a potential increase in phytomass C and SOC stocks.…”

Bouncing Spallation Bombs During the 2021 La Palma Eruption, Canary Islands, Spain by James M. D. Day, Harri Geiger, Valentin R. Troll, Francisco J. Perez-Torrado, Meritxell Aulinas, Guillem Gisbert, Juan Carlos Carracedo

“…We describe ballistically ejected bombs observed during the late October 2021 episode of eruption at La Palma (Canary Islands) that additionally travelled downhill by rolling and bouncing on the steep tephra-dominated cone. These bouncing bombs travelled for distances >1 km beyond their initial impact sites, increasing total travel distance by as much as 100%. …”

Water temperature, mixing, and ice phenology in the arctic–alpine Lake Darfáljávri (Lake Tarfala), northern Sweden by Nina Kirchner, Jan Weckström, Joachim Jansen, Frederik Schenk, Jamie Barnett, Annika Granebeck, Matti Leppäranta, Atte Korhola

“…Modeled ice-on dates match observed ones reasonably well; however, observed ice-off dates occur much later than modeled ones, likely because of cold impact from Darfáljávri’s glacial environment as inferred from a comparison with a close tundra lake. Though new insights into the complex lake mixing and ice phenology are provided, it remains to attribute the characteristics of Darfáljávri’s winter stratification to additional potential drivers, such as lake ice thickness, atmospheric heat fluxes, and the water balance of the lake.…”

CMIP6 GCMs Projected Future Koppen‐Geiger Climate Zones on a Global Scale by Young Hoon Song, Eun‐Sung Chung, Brian Odhiambo Ayugi

“…The projected future climate zones are simpler compared to the historical periods across six continents, with tundra and ice caps expected to disappear. This study highlights potential risks by projecting future climate zones based on varying greenhouse gas concentration levels, stressing the importance of using these projections with caution given the inherent uncertainties and limitations of GCMs.…”
