Controls on ecosystem and root respiration across a permafrost and wetland gradient in interior Alaska

Controls on ecosystem and root respiration across a permafrost and wetland gradient in interior Alaska

Permafrost is common to many northern wetlands given the insulation of thick organic soil layers, although soil saturation in wetlands can lead to warmer soils and increased thaw depth. We analyzed five years of soil CO _2 fluxes along a wetland gradient that varied in permafrost and soil moisture c...
