Significance of vegetation cover differences on albedo and soil carbon on a basaltic sandplain in southern Iceland
Studies have documented that recent anthropogenic climate change has caused increased vegetative growth on arctic tundra landscapes, resulting in increased carbon storage (in biomass and soil), but decreased albedo and increased energy budgets. The glacial outwash sandplains (sandurs) of Iceland off...
