Climate Change Futures: Health, Ecological and Economic Dimensions (2004, background): “The decrease in Earth’s reflectivity (albedo) when sea and alpine ice melts produces a “positive” feedback (Chapin et al. 2005), meaning that warming leads to further warming.”
Earth system science related imaging spectroscopy — an assessment (2009, background): “climate-related disturbance and human impacts are identified (Chapin et al., 2005).”
Large herbivores limit CO2 uptake and suppress carbon cycle responses to warming in West Greenland (2011, background): “Furthermore, a greater proportion of the absorbed radiation is dissipated as sensible heat, which directly warms the overlying atmosphere and serves as a strong positive feedback to climate warming (Chapin et al., 2000, 2005).”
Contribution of permafrost soils to the global carbon budget (2013, background): “Changes in the water regime, such as the already observed occurrence of drought stress in association with temperature increase (Barber et al 2000, Wilmking et al 2004, Chapin et al 2005) will also have considerable effects on vegetation distribution in the future.”
Arctic warming on two continents has consistent negative effects on lichen diversity and mixed effects on bryophyte diversity (2012, background): “…expansion has been explained as a direct effect of warming on shrubs, with additional positive feedbacks through snow regimes and soil processes (Chapin et al., 2005; Sturm et al., 2005; Pomeroy et al., 2006), even though negative feedbacks through extreme winter events (Bokhorst et al., 2009)…”
Soil nitrogen cycling rates in low arctic shrub tundra are enhanced by litter feedbacks (2010, background): “Increased shrub cover results in enhanced absorption of solar radiation and therefore localized atmospheric heating, providing a potentially very significant positive feedback to climate warming (Chapin et al. 2005).”
Plant species traits are the predominant control on litter decomposition rates within biomes worldwide. (2008, methodology): “Species decomposition records were collected as percent mass loss for each successive harvest, and decomposition constants (k) were calculated for each speciesexperiment combination ( Chapin et al. 2002 ).”
Mycorrhizal responses to nitrogen fertilization in boreal ecosystems: potential consequences for soil carbon storage (2007, background): “Global warming is also occurring faster in northern ecosystems than elsewhere; summer air temperatures have increased 0.5–2.0 1C over the past four decades in this region (Chapin et al., 2005).”
