Effects of summer and winter warming on CO2 efflux in high Arctic tundra

Effects of summer and winter warming on CO2 efflux in high Arctic tundra

The main goal of this project is to understand ecosystem C balance with summer and winter warming in Arctic tundra ecosystem by observations of ecosystem CO2 fluxes. I will collaborate with ongoing ITEX projects along with the developer of new soil efflux techniques to conduct continuous observations of CO2 fluxes in high Arctic tundra under warming.

Objectives

- Understand and quantify annual ecosystem C balance in high Arctic tundra with summer and winter warming

- Testing the applicability of new technology in continuous observations of CO2 fluxes

- Create collaborations among several different research groups in understanding the effects of warming on ecosystem C balance in high Arctic tundra
