An assessment of the carbon balance of Arctic tundra: comparisons among observations, process models, and atmospheric inversions
Although Arctic tundra has been estimated to cover only 8% of the global land surface, the large and potentially labile carbon pools currently stored in tundra soils have the potential for large emissions of carbon (C) under a warming climate. These emissions as radiatively active greenhouse gases i...
