The project addresses the effect of soil moisture on carbon dynamics in boreal forest soils. It will improve our understanding of this key process and generate new data on soil C stocks and moisture conditions. The new data and knowledge will be used to improve the models. We will run the improved models to estimate soil C amounts for whole landscapes.

We expect this work to decrease the uncertainty in the prediction of global soil C dynamics, which is a relevant issue for the international research community. Furthermore, as forests play a major role in the Norwegian greenhouse gas inventory, key results will be communicated to policymakers when revising the Norwegian climate policy.
