decomposers and their shared soil environment complicates the ability to project future tundra carbon dynamics 11. Figure 1: A canonical discriminant analysis plot reveals the loss of trophic ...

We surveyed the microbial community structure in cryoturbated soils from nine soil profiles in the northeastern Siberian tundra using ... facultative anaerobic decomposers of SOM such as members ...

To test their hypothesis, the researchers visited the longest-running climate warming study in the tundra ... warmer winter soil temperatures that further stimulate both decomposers and plant ...

Study of tundra soil demonstrates vulnerability of ecosystem to climate warming Date: February 22, 2016 Source: University of Oklahoma Summary: Findings from one of the first comprehensive field ...

emissions from once frozen tundra in winter are increasing — presumably because the ground is not refreezing as quickly. “The soils are warmer deeper, and as they freeze in the fall ...

Scientists who studied the Alaskan tundra have warned that global warming could make microbes which live in the soil release more greenhouse gases. The permafrost soils on the northern latitude ...

Climate change is warming the Arctic tundra about four times faster than ... The researchers monitored how much CO 2 microbes in the soil released into the air, a process called respiration ...
