Decomposition of old organic matter as a result of deeper active layers in a snow depth manipulation experiment

A snow addition experiment in moist acidic tussock tundra at Toolik Lake, Alaska, increased winter snow depths 2–3 m, and resulted in a doubling of the summer active layer depth. We used radiocarbon (∆(14)C) to (1) determine the age of C respired in the deep soils under control and deepened active l...
