Investigating drivers of litter carbon turnover in Arctic soils

Investigating drivers of litter carbon turnover in Arctic soils

Soils store massive amounts of C and are therefore important regulators of global climate. Consequently, efforts are made to understand what controls soil C storage.

Climate impact on sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in high-latitude lakes

The core of the project is made up of (i) comparative studies of lakes across gradients in temperature and precipitation and (ii) large-scale experimental test of responses in C emission and burial to increases in temperature and precipitation/runoff.
