2019 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4717.
The overall goal of this project is to increase knowledge of how tundra environments interact with the atmosphere and predict how changing tundra vegetation will affect future climates. Tundra ecosystems exchange energy, water and carbon gases with the atmosphere, which are important elements of the climate system. As...

The specific research objectives are to quantify the variation in CO2 exchange among different tundra types and to explore the potential impacts of climate change on tundra ecosystems.
As for the past three summers CO2 exchange and environmental variables (air and soil temperatures, light, precipitation and wind) will be measured at a central monitoring tower. Two satellite towers were added l...
