Abstract The changes in the main climate variables that determine the atmospheric hydrological cycle and the hydrological regime of land (surface air temperature and precipitation) are considered for the first decades of the 21st century, as well as in comparison with the most significant changes during the 20th century. Regional changes in seasonal climate statistics…

Fire and Logging Decrease Soil CO2 Efflux in Siberian Central Taiga Forests
Abstract Extensive wildfires and logging have affected the Russian boreal forests in recent decades. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests are widespread in Russia and are one of the most disturbed tree species in Siberia. However, the effects of disturbance on soil CO2 efflux in the vast Siberian forests are still poorly understood. We used the LI…
An unusually windy, high salt diet of the Arctic Ocean
An international collaboration with Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences monitored the causes, impacts of circulation and sea ice decline in the Arctic Ocean between 2000 – 2019. Sea ice decline, and atmospheric warming affect the distribution of fresh and saline water with the changing currents. The researchers created simulations…
