Microbial response to experimental warming in High Arctic soil

In a four-year experiment on Svalbard, we warmed patterned ground soil with open top chambers and biannually irrigated the soil to predict the responses of its microbial community to rising temperatures and precipitation.

在斯瓦尔巴（Svalbard）开展的为期四年的野外实验中，研究团队采用开顶式生长箱（open top chambers）对图案化冻土土壤实施增温处理，并每年对土壤进行两次灌溉，以此预测该土壤微生物群落对气温升高与降水增多的响应。
