Zusammenfassung |
The physical, chemical, and biological processes involving organics in ice in
the environment impact a number of atmospheric and biogeochemical cycles.
Organic material in snow or ice may be biological in origin, deposited from
aerosols or atmospheric gases, or formed chemically in situ. In this
manuscript, we review the current state of knowledge regarding the sources,
properties, and chemistry of organic materials in environmental ices. Several
outstanding questions remain to be resolved and fundamental data gathered
before an accurate model of transformations and transport of organic species
in the cryosphere will be possible. For example, more information is needed
regarding the quantitative impacts of chemical and biological processes, ice
morphology, and snow formation on the fate of organic material in cold
regions. Interdisciplinary work at the interfaces of chemistry, physics and
biology is needed in order to fully characterize the nature and evolution of
organics in the cryosphere and predict the effects of climate change on the
Earth's carbon cycle. |
