  3. 2. Do OTC warming effects on ecosystem processes depend on moss species identity, precipitation, and moss removal?

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Alexina Brännlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Experimental warming; Subarctic tundra mosses; Productivity; Ecosystem respiration; Decomposition;
