 Effect of tree line advance on carbon storage in NW Alaska
We investigated the size, distribution, and temporal dynamics of ecosystem carbon (C) pools in an area of recent tree line advance, northwest Alaska.
Tree line advance therefore might not increase C storage in high-latitude ecosystems and thus might not, as previously suggested, act as a negative feedback to warming.
Key to this hypothesis and to its projection to future climate response is the fate of soil carbon upon warming and permafrost drainage.
