Shrub-induced snowpack variability alters wintertime soil respiration across a simulated tundra landscape
Across the arctic tundra, the expansion of tall shrubs is expected to alter soil microbial activity in winter through shrub effects on snow redistribution.Tall shrubs act as a windbreak, trapping deep snowdrifts that insulate the ground from extreme Ball - Training Aids cold and elevate soil respiration within shrub patches.However, this windbreak
