Quantifying long-term impacts of single and repeated wildfire burning in North American tundra on organic soil carbon stocks and ecosystem functioning

The proposed project will focus on investigating and quantifying fire-induced changes in Alaskan tundra with a specific aim to assess the region’s vulnerability to on-going and future environmental change and the changes to carbon cycling in this ecosystem. In particular we aim to address several specific ABoVE-identified research priority areas including: 1) What processes are contributing to changes in disturbance regimes and what are the impacts of these changes?
