Summary

Climate change is rapidly expanding vegetation cover and modifying hydrology in the Arctic, and understanding the effects on nutrients inputs to aquatic ecosystems is crucial in order to determine the ecological consequences. The aim of this project is to expand our understanding of how nutrient export from land to stream and sea in Greenland is related to vegetation cover and permafrost thawing.
