Shrub-induced snowpack variability alters wintertime soil respiration across a simulated tundra landscape
Across the arctic tundra, the expansion of tall shrubs is expected to alter soil microbial activity in winter through shrub effects on snow redistribution. Tall shrubs act as a windbreak, trapping deep snowdrifts that insulate the ground from extreme cold and elevate soil respiration within shrub pa...
