Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. READ MORE

2. Implications of a dynamic vertical root distribution for modelled water and carbon fluxes across selected ecosystems : incorporating a novel rooting scheme into LPJ-GUESS
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Roots play a key role in terrestrial carbon and water cycles, and therefore for the global climate system. They mediate plant evapotranspiration, influence photosynthetic processes and are responsible for atmospheric carbon transport into the pedosphere. Fine roots, in particular, are chiefly regulating water and nutrient uptake. READ MORE
