Natural gradients in temperature, CO2 and soil age: Iceland represents a unique environment to clarify longtermglobal change effects on nutrient dynamics, vegetation and microbial communities.

This project aims at understanding how structure and function of Icelandic ecosystems are affected by global change. Global climate change is predicted to continue in the 21st century and will be most pronounced at higher latitudes. This will undeniably entail changes in ecosystem processes as nutrient dynamics and plant and microbial community compositions.
