The amount and timing of precipitation control the magnitude, seasonality and sources (<sup>14</sup>C) of ecosystem respiration in a polar semi-desert, northwestern Greenland

This study investigates how warming and changes in precipitation may affect the cycling of carbon (C) in tundra soils, and between high Arctic tundra and the atmosphere. We quantified ecosystem respiration (<i>R</i><sub>eco</sub>) and soil pore space CO<sub>2</sub>...
