Chris Neill and Kelly Holzworth graciously put together a blog post for the study that is now posted on the Ecosystems Center homepage. The Arctic LTER site that is managed by scientists at Ecosystems Center was the only arctic tundra site used in the study, included ~20 species of C3 herbs, evergreen shrubs, and deciduous shrubs, which fleshed out many PFT categories for the study. The Arctic plants had the highest rates of respiration per area when measured at the same temperature, which is to be expected.
