Abstract
Arctic warming is expected to lead to the colonization of tundra by trees, increasing plant biomass and potentially helping to offset atmospheric carbon dioxide increases. However, this effect must be considered in the context of soil-carbon changes. Now research shows that enhanced plant growth in the European Arctic could result in an overall increase in carbon being released to the atmosphere.
