Disaggregating the carbon exchange of degrading permafrost peatlands using Bayesian deep learning
Extensive regions in the permafrost zone are projected to become climatically unsuitable to sustain permafrost peatlands over the next century, suggesting transformations in these landscapes that can leave large amounts of permafrost carbon vulnerable to post-thaw decomposition. We present three yea...

Extensive regions in the permafrost zone are projected to become climatically unsuitable to sustain permafrost peatlands over the next century, suggesting transformations in these landscapes that can leave large amounts of permafrost carbon vulnerable to post-thaw decomposition. We present three years of eddy covariance measurements of CH4 and CO2 fluxes from the degrading permafrost peatland Iskoras in Northern Norway, which we disaggregate into separate fluxes of palsa, pond, and fen areas using information provided by the dynamic flux footprint in a novel ensemble-based Bayesian deep neural network framework.
