  1. Arctic Biosphere-Atmosphere Coupling across multiple Scales (ABACUS) Why is this SO important for understanding global change?

  2. Carbon stocks Energy balance Hydrology Current snow (May) Projected snow (2080) Km3 yr-1 discharge Permafrost

  3. This consortium will improve understanding of the controls on carbon, water and energy exchange between arctic terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere CARBON CARBON -ecosystem processing of carbon WATER WATER -interactions of topography, hydrology and vegetation Models -upscaling -process integration ENERGY ENERGY -Seasonality of land- atmosphere coupling

  4. Field campaigns

  5. A multiscale approach

  6. Innovative approachesto quantifying C cycling In situ stable isotope labelling & tracing Age of respired carbon The age of organic matter Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility

  7. Linking carbon, water and energy fluxes Radiation, VPD temperature Soils data C=carbon W=water Evap Trans Respa Resph Snow Cfoliage Ppt Clitter Radiation, VPD temperature WS1 GPP Croots Cwood Csoil WS2 WS3
