Holocene carbon dynamics at the forest – steppe ecotone of southern Siberia (2016)
Journal Article
Mackay, A. W., Seddon, A., Leng, M. J., Heumann, G., Morley, D., Piotrowska, N., …Swann, G. E. (2017). Holocene carbon dynamics at the forest – steppe ecotone of southern Siberia. Global Change Biology, 23(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13583

The forest–steppe ecotone in southern Siberia is highly sensitive to climate change; global warming is expected to push the ecotone northwards, at the same time resulting in degradation of the underlying permafrost. To gain a deeper understanding of... Read More about Holocene carbon dynamics at the forest – steppe ecotone of southern Siberia.
