grows in thawed permafrost in
forest and tundra systems releases its own modern organic carbon into soils, which readily decomposes and dilutes the «old carbon» signal from thawing permafrost soils.

vegetation, made up of grasses, ferns and fast -

Results from Fall et al. (12) indicate that TE (i) is larger than T in 8 areas with higher physical evaporation and transpiration rates (e.g. deciduous broadleaf
forests and croplands) and (ii) shows a stronger relationship than T to
vegetation cover, especially during the
growing season (biomass increase).
