Microbial responses to altered water table depth in Alaskan tundra

The Lipson laboratory is involved in a project to study the effects of water table manipulation, and to describe seasonal and spatial variation, in microbial communities in Arctic tundra.  This is part of a larger collaborative study with the GCRG and researchers from several different universities (Biocomplexity Associated with the Response of Tundra Carbon Balance to Warming and Drying across Multiple Spatial and Temporal Scales, NSF OPP Award #: 0421588)
