The team also found that soil microbes
in experimental warming studies showed no sign of adaptation — meaning a muted respiration response to rising temperatures — in all of the biomes studied, except desert and boreal forest.
«I have a co-funded — US Department of Energy and Manitoba Hydro —
experimental warming study where we are heating the soil and air inside large chambers to simulate the climate 50 years from now to better quantify the effects of climate warming on boreal forest carbon budgets.
Researchers at Umeå University in Sweden, and Oulu University in Finland, tested this
through experimental warming of vegetation on tundra meadows with and without reindeer and voles.
Importantly, on - going ecological monitoring initiated by Thoreau and Leopold will help to clarify the complexities of this system under future change, and to illuminate plant phenological responses in
experimental warming plots and under greenhouse conditions.
Interactions in a warmer world: effects
of experimental warming, conspecific density, and herbivory on seedling dynamics.
This work represents the world's largest dataset to date of soil respiration response to
experimental warming.
Response of Nitrifier and Denitrifier Abundance and Microbial Community Structure to
Experimental Warming in an Agricultural Ecosystem — Tatoba R. Waghmode — Frontiers in Microbiology
This study compared a traditional warm up, with what the researchers called
an experimental warm up.
The experimental warm up was a lot shorter at approximately 15 minutes, and was carried out at a lower intensity, finishing with just a single sprint.
