    Recent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands

    Hydrological changes in high-latitude peatlandsWe observed three hydrological pathways, i.e., drying, wetting, and fluctuating, for both peatland clusters, non-permafrost and permafrost peatlands (Fig. 2). Approximately 54% of the studied peatlands have shifted towards drier surface conditions since 1800 CE and more intensively since 1900 CE (Fig. 2a, d), which is in line with the post-LIA warming. The overall change point to drier conditions was dated to ca. 1950 CE for non-permafrost sites and ca. 1890 CE for the permafrost compiled group. Approximately 32% of the studied peatlands have shifted towards wetter conditions (Fig. 2b, e). The overall shifting point to wetter conditions was dated to ca. 1995 CE for non-permafrost peatlands and to ca. 1990 CE for permafrost peatlands. Wetting has been especially intensive since 1900 CE for non-permafrost peatlands and since 1950 CE for permafrost peatlands. Interestingly, the data showed that in permafrost peatlands a significant dry shift always preceded a wet shift (Fig. 2e). Approximately 14% of the studied peatlands indicated no clear trend, with fluctuating hydrological conditions (Fig. 2c, f).Non-permafrost peatlands generally showed spatially extensive drying across the northern high latitudes, apart from northeastern Canada, where a wetting trend was more frequently observed. Permafrost peatlands, however, were more variable, with some drying, some wetting, and no overall coherent regional pattern was visible (Fig.1a, b). It should be noted that peatlands synthesized here have undergone little or no direct human impact, i.e., their surface hydrology was not significantly affected by human disturbances such as drainage, when compared to, for example, central European peatlands discussed in Swindles et al. (2019)5. This implies that climate and/or local topographical forcing are the predominant hydrological drivers in this study. The dataset is to some extent biased as there are more non-permafrost records from northeastern Canada but more permafrost records from northern Sweden and this might result in regional overestimation to either wetting or drying trends. Nevertheless, the pattern of diverse timing of the hydrological shifts between the individual coring points (Fig. 2) indicates the variability in sensitivity of different regions/peatlands to climate changes.Potential links to climate change and permafrost dynamicsThe comparison of the reconstructed water table and climate data suggests that climate, especially summer temperature, has played an important role in shaping the peatland water table (Fig. 1c–f). The pattern detected here for non-permafrost peatlands, an extensive drying, is comparable to that observed for central European peatlands5. In addition to direct climate forcing, a recent acceleration of peat accumulation might partly explain the drying trend by disconnecting the peatland surface from the water table17. However, for northeastern Canada a wetting trend has been observed more often, possibly regulated by the regional climate that shows clearly less warming in the focused period compared to other regions (Fig. 1c, d).Permafrost initiation in the past caused a peat surface uplift and is probably detected as a dry phase (Fig. 2d, e). Post-LIA warming-induced increase in evapotranspiration may have strengthened the surface drying which originally resulted from surface-uplift and probably mitigated the gradual wetting related to permafrost thawing11. The level of warming has varied among the regions. In some areas such as northeastern Canada temperature has increased less and, when combined with higher precipitation or higher effective moisture level, may have caused surface wetting in permafrost peatlands. This is a direct climate forcing rather than permafrost thawing, which is a consequence of climate warming, i.e., more indirect climate forcing. To date, it is yet challenging to estimate any one tipping point of warming that might trigger permafrost thawing, as the local conditions vary from bottom ground soil conditions to hydrology and vegetation. The consequent wetting or drying depends on evapotranspiration and ice richness etc., which further challenges the prediction of hydrological conditions of permafrost peatlands.The divergent three moisture patterns may occur in the same region and even in the same peatland, especially if the permafrost is present. This complex response pattern is well supported by the records from the Abisko region, Sweden, where replicated sampling was carried out, and captured different successional stages of local permafrost peatlands7,18. In contrast to permafrost peatlands, non-permafrost peatlands are more likely to experience a more consistent ecosystem response pattern19 as supported by the replicated records suggesting the same pattern happening simultaneously in several regions (Fig. 1a). The fluctuating pattern of many records reported here suggests that the past and recent climate has not yet caused a state change in hydrological conditions.Insights into carbon dynamics and future perspectiveGenerally, our results suggest that the recent climate warming has caused hydrological shifts in most high-latitude peatlands, highlighting its pronounced effect on shaping peatland moisture balance, and further on driving peatland C balance. It has been reported that a 1-cm water-table drawdown would increase 3.3–5.0 mg CO2 m−2 h−1 and decrease 2.2–3.6 mg CO2-eq m−2 h−1 (CH4) to the atmosphere, and the average sensitivity of CO2 and CH4 combined was 0.8–2.3 mg CO2-eq m−2 h−1 cm−1 according to a global scale analysis, including sites from high-latitudes3. However, it should be noted that the sensitivity of greenhouse gas fluxes to the magnitude of hydrological changes might vary among different regions and peatland types. It appears that most pan-Arctic peatlands are undergoing a drying trend, that may lead to a decreased C sink capacity3,19, if not compensated by increased C uptake from the atmosphere20.It is very likely that over the 21st century warming in high latitudes will continue to be more pronounced than the global average21. Precipitation is projected to increase, albeit with large regional variability. Also, extreme events with heavy rainfall and drought are becoming more frequent and intense22. It is estimated that about 20% of permafrost zone is experiencing accelerated and abrupt permafrost thaw that is likely causing wetting conditions4, while gradual permafrost thaw has been observed across the circumpolar regions23. Both an increase in precipitation and permafrost thaw might mitigate the drying pressure caused by warming and increased evapotranspiration. However, abrupt permafrost thaw in peatlands can result in a rapid (over years to decades) loss of C from the formerly frozen permafrost peat, causing these peatlands to be a net source of C to the atmosphere before post-thaw accumulation returns them to a net sink (centuries to millennia)12,13. The future C sink and source function of peatlands is a key element in contributing to climate change, but the observed divergent pathways of peatland hydrological successions further challenge the projections of high-latitude peatland C sink and source dynamics. Conversely, it clearly highlights the importance of climate forcing in peatland succession scenarios. Our study reveals that the response of high-latitude peatlands to changing climate conditions is complex. We detect variable ecohydrological trajectories, and in the future, these will determine the C sink capacity of northern peatlands. The observed patterns inevitably create challenges for the climate change modelling community. How to capture the highly heterogenic successional pathways of northern peatlands needs to be a key research focus. More

    Relationships between transmission of malaria in Africa and climate factors

    DataWe used temperature data, rainfall data, and data on the incidence of malaria collected from 1901 to 2015 for 43 African countries to construct networks to determine the relationships between transmission of malaria and climate change elements, especially temperature and rainfall. Data resolution is given by the latitude and longitude of the capital city for every country in Africa. Temperature and rainfall data are provided in terms of monthly averages in the country wise. The nodes in the network represent the country, and the edges in the network represent the relationship between countries. We collected malaria data from Harvard Dataverse35 and the world malaria report from the WHO31. Data for temperature and rainfall were obtained from the Climate Change Knowledge Portal of the World Bank Group36.Network generation and analysisThe networks were constructed by using the threshold method where the network depends on the mean, standard deviation, and the real number ((n)) used to control the features of the network. Therefore, data for temperature, rainfall, and the incidence of malaria were divided into six groups mostly comprising ranges of 20 years (1900–1920, 1921–1940, 1941–1960, 1961–1980, 1981–2000) as well as the period from 2001 to 2015. The missing data in Malaria incidence data are filled by the average amount of malaria incidence collected per year.In Table S1, a malaria report from the World Health Organization shows that the rate of death is directly proportional to the incidence of malaria35. The death toll in Africa from malaria is about 98% of world deaths from malaria. Such deaths in African regions decrease thanks to efforts the WHO, governments, and the private sector have been conducting to prevent them. Weather and climate are among the factors that drive increases in malaria infections in different areas.We consider networks based on the threshold method (see the “Methods and Materials” section below). First, we fill the missing malaria incidence data, and we calculate normalized Pearson correlation coefficients of three-time series between two countries. Then, we obtain a correlation matrix for the countries. We estimate the average value of the correlation coefficients from the time intervals 1901–1920, 1921–1940, 1941–1960, 1961–1980, 1981–2000, and 2001–2015 for three time series: temperature, rainfall, and incidence of malaria. We summarize the averages and standard deviations of the correlation coefficients, as shown in Table S2. The mean values from the correlation in temperature are high, compared to those for rainfall and the incidence of malaria. The standard deviations in temperature and rainfall are large, but the standard deviation for the incidence of malaria is small.We chose an ad hoc threshold value of the correlation coefficients to generate sparse networks. The characteristic values for (n) of the threshold are given in Table S3. We consider three types of thresholds in order to observe changes in the networks according to the threshold.Let us define the normalized variance of each time series. We considered time series (T_{i} left( t right)), (M_{i} left( t right)), and (R_{i} left( t right)) in country (i) for temperature, the incidence of malaria, and rainfall, respectively. We define normalized variance as$$r_{ij} = frac{{x_{i} left( t right)x_{j} left( t right) – x_{i} left( t right)x_{j} left( t right)}}{{sigma_{i} sigma_{j} }}$$
    (1)
    where (x_{i} left( t right)) = (T_{i} left( t right)), (M_{i} left( t right)), (R_{i} left( t right)). We obtained a Pearson correlation matrix for each time series as follows:$$R_{S} = left[ {begin{array}{*{20}c} {r_{11} } & cdots & {r_{1N} } \ vdots & {r_{ij} } & vdots \ {r_{N1} } & cdots & {r_{NN} } \ end{array} } right]$$
    (2)
    where (S = T, M, R).We calculated the average value, (overline{r }), and the standard deviation, (sigma), for the correlation coefficients of the matrix. We applied the threshold method to generate a sparse network from the correlation matrix. Two countries are connected in the correlation network if and only if the value of the correlation coefficient is greater than, or equal to, the threshold value:$$r_{{ij}} = left{ {begin{array}{*{20}c} 1 & {{text{if}};r_{{ij}} ge bar{r}{text{ + n}}sigma } \ 0 & {{text{otherwise}}} \ end{array} } right.$$
    (3)
    where (r_{ij}) is the correlation coefficient between two countries, and (n) is an element of real numbers ((n in {mathbb{R}})). The value of (n) determines whether the network is sparsely or densely connected.We use Python programming language, packages, numpy for mathematical functions and random number generator, pandas for data analysis and manipulations, networkx for creation, manipulation, and studying the structure of the complex network, matplotlib for visualization and plotting graph and base map for map projection and visualization of geographic information.
