Identifying tipping points in the relationship between aridity and gross nitrogen (N) cycling
rates could show critical vulnerabilities of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. Yet, the …

Soil microorganisms regulate the decomposition of organic matter. However, microbial
activities can also be rate-limited by the resource in lowest supply. Arctic ecosystems are …

The consequences of warming-induced 'shrubification'on Arctic soil carbon storage are
receiving increased attention, as the majority of ecosystem carbon in these systems is stored …

Climate warming and shrubification will affect soil carbon (C) cycling in arctic ecosystems.
Rhizosphere inputs from increased plant productivity by shrubification may stimulate the …

The rapid climatic and environmental changes observed in the Arctic and across the globe
in general call for reliable model projections. In recent years our understanding of ongoing …

Priming effects of soil organic matter decomposition are critical to determine carbon budget
and turnover in soil. Yet, the overall direction and intensity of soil priming remains under …

Permafrost regions contain approximately half of the carbon stored in land ecosystems and
have warmed at least twice as much as any other biome. This warming has influenced …

Mosses can be responsible for up to 100% of net primary production in arctic and subarctic
tundra, and their associations with diazotrophic cyanobacteria have an important role in …

Soil microorganisms play an integral role in the regulation of carbon (C) cycling. In high-
latitude ecosystems, climate warming is leading to higher plant productivity, shrub …

Global change drivers that modify the quality and quantity of litter inputs to soil affect
greenhouse gas fluxes, and thereby constitute a feedback to climate change. Carbon cycling …
