Why is Arctic tundra soil respiration carbon limited at low temperatures?

Lead Institution
University of Toledo
Principal Investigator
Michael Weintraub
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Soil microbial communities are active during much of the long Arctic winter, despite low temperatures, so overwinter microbial activity is important to global carbon (C) budgets. C-rich Arctic soils…

What, exactly, inhibits decomposition at low temperature?

Lead Institution
University of Toledo
Principal Investigator
Michael Weintraub
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Arctic soils contain large carbon (C) stores, and the balance of C fluxes is likely to shift because Arctic temperatures are rising at twice the global rate. However, predicting soil responses is…
