Comparison of carbon and nitrogen storage in mineral soils of graminoid and shrub tundra sites, western Greenland

Shrub species are expanding across the Arctic in response to climate change and biotic interactions. Changes in belowground carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage are of global importance because Arctic soils store approximately half of global soil C. We collected 10 (60 cm) soil cores each from gramin...
