NGEE Arctic: Next Generation Ecosystem Experiments - Arctic

The Next-Generation Ecosystem Experiments seeks to improve our predictive understanding of carbon-rich Arctic system processes and feedbacks to climate. We do this through experiments, observations, and synthesis of existing datasets that strategically inform models and enhance the knowledge base required to initialize, calibrate, and evaluate models.

Keywords	Arctic, biogeochemistry, biogeochemistry Studies the cycle of key elements like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus within Earth's systems. It explores how these elements interact and the factors influencing their cycles. Source: Oak Ridge Biogeochemical Dynamics Source ecosystem, elevated CO2, modeling, permafrost, permafrost Any ground that remains completely frozen—32°F (0°C) or colder—for at least two years straight. These permanently frozen grounds are commonly found in regions with high mountains and near the North and South Poles.
