Title: Author Correction: Carbon budgets for 1.5 and 2 °C targets lowered by natural wetland and permafrost feedbacks

Abstract

In the version of this Article originally published in July 2018, a parallelization coding problem, which meant that a subset of model grid cells were subjected to erroneous updating of atmospheric gas concentrations, resulted in incorrect calculation of atmospheric CO₂ for these grid cells, and therefore underestimation of the carbon uptake by land through vegetation growth and eventual increases to soil carbon stocks. Having re-run the simulations using the corrected code, the authors found that the original estimates of the impact of the natural wetland methane feedback were overestimated. The permafrost and natural wetland methane feedback requires lower permissible emissions of 9–15% to achieve climate stabilization at 1.5 °C, compared with the original published estimate of 17–23%. The Article text, Table 1 and Fig. 3 have been updated online to reflect the revised numerical estimates. The Supplementary Information file has also been amended, with Supplementary Figs 6, 7, 8 and 9 replaced with revised versions produced using the corrected model output. As the strength of feedbacks remain significant, still require inclusion in climate policy and are nonlinear with global warming, the overall conclusions of the Article remain unchanged.

Author Correction: Informed-Proteomics: open-source software package for top-down proteomics

Journal Article Park, Jungkap ; Piehowski, Paul D. ; Wilkins, Christopher S. ; ... - Nature Methods

Correction to: Nature Methods 14, 909–914, https://doi.org/10.1038/nmeth.4388 (2017), published online 7 August 2017. In the version of this article initially published, the authors erroneously reported the search mode that was used for ProSightPC 3.0 in the Online Methods and in Supplementary Table 3. The results presented in Fig. 5 were obtained with ‘absolute mass’ search mode, not ‘biomarker discovery’ search mode. The ‘biomarker discovery’ search mode of ProSightPC 3.0 looks for subsequences of those contained in the annotated proteoform database (e.g., truncated forms from degradation and/or cleavage). This search mode is expected to generate similar numbers of identifications as Informed-Proteomics,more »« less

Large methane emission upon spring thaw from natural wetlands in the northern permafrost region

Journal Article Song, Changchun ; Xu, Xiaofeng ; Sun, Xiaoxin ; ... - Environmental Research Letters

The permafrost carbon climate feedback is one of the major mechanisms in controlling the climate ecosystem interactions in northern high latitudes. Of this feedback, methane (CH4) emission from natural wetlands is critically important due to its high warming potential. The freeze thaw transition has been confirmed to play an important role in annual CH4 budget, yet the magnitude of this effect is uncertain. An intensive field campaign was carried out in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China to estimate the CH4 emission in the spring freeze thaw transition period. The observation concluded that a large CH4 source was caused by springmore »« less

FLUXNET-CH₄: a global, multi-ecosystem dataset and analysis of methane seasonality from freshwater wetlands

Journal Article Delwiche, Kyle B. ; Knox, Sara Helen ; Malhotra, Avni ; ... - Earth System Science Data (Online)

Abstract. Methane (CH4) emissions from natural landscapes constitute roughly half of global CH4 contributions to the atmosphere, yet large uncertainties remain in the absolute magnitude and the seasonality of emission quantities and drivers. Eddy covariance (EC) measurements of CH4 flux are ideal for constraining ecosystem-scale CH4 emissions due to quasi-continuous and high-temporal-resolution CH4 flux measurements, coincident carbon dioxide, water, and energy flux measurements, lack of ecosystem disturbance, and increased availability of datasets over the last decade. Here, we (1) describe the newly published dataset, FLUXNET-CH4 Version 1.0, the first open-source global dataset of CH4 EC measurements (available at https://fluxnet.org/data/fluxnet-ch4-community-product/, last access:more »« less

Upscaling Wetland Methane Emissions From the FLUXNET–CH4 Eddy Covariance Network (UpCH4 v1.0): Model Development, Network Assessment, and Budget Comparison

Journal Article McNicol, Gavin ; Fluet‐Chouinard, Etienne ; Ouyang, Zutao ; ... - AGU Advances

Wetlands are responsible for 20%–31% of global methane (CH₄) emissions and account for a large source of uncertainty in the global CH₄ budget. Data-driven upscaling of CH₄ fluxes from eddy covariance measurements can provide new and independent bottom-up estimates of wetland CH₄ emissions. Here, we develop a six-predictor random forest upscaling model (UpCH4), trained on 119 site-years of eddy covariance CH₄ flux data from 43 freshwater wetland sites in the FLUXNET-CH4 Community Product. Network patterns in site-level annual means and mean seasonal cycles of CH₄ fluxes were reproduced accurately in tundra, boreal, and temperate regions (Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency ~0.52–0.63 and 0.53).more »« less

Potential feedbacks of northern wetlands on climate change: An outline of an approach to predict climate-change impact

Journal Article Bridgham, S D ; Johnston, C A ; Pastor, J ; ... - Bioscience

Atmospheric concentrations of many greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide and methane, are rapidly increasing from preindustrial levels. This paper explores the potential feedback from northern wetlands, particularly with regard to carbon dioxide and methane flux, to climate change. Although progress has been made in determining current trace gas fluxes from major biomass, the authors believe that a mechanistic approach is necessary to predict the direct and indirect feedbacks between climate and northern wetlands. Relevant areas covered in the article include the following: feedback mechanisms; carbon and nutrient mineralization; the kinetics of carbon and nutrient mineralization; methane oxidation and themore »« less
