PeCHEc Project

PeCHEc is a research project looking on the effects of large animals on the Arctic ground carbon storage including the circumstances of Arctic animal herding

[Torben Windirsch @WindirschTorben]

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 https://t.co/j4SwPUQCyC @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

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! https://t.co/rjKXkIwKAu

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 😎

Our first project paper dealing with herbivory effects on permafrost carbon storage in northeastern Siberia has just been published in Frontiers in Environmental Science: https://t.co/6IS9Y8GFqw

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

[PeCHEc Project @PeCHEc_project]

Another successful field day and more beautiful peat cores from different reindeer grazing intensities!

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

[PeCHEc Project @PeCHEc_project]

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

[PeCHEc Project @PeCHEc_project]

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

[Biogeosciences @EGU_BioGeo]

Discussion open for comments: Large Herbivores Affecting Permafrost – Impacts of Grazing on Permafrost Soil Carbon Storage in Northeastern Siberia https://t.co/fti0xqaUyg

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.
