So to clarify, with the method am I able to say something like "in this plot most of the carbon is stored within the last 1-10 years, whereas in this plot most of the carbon is decades old"? Or are the uncertainties too big for this kind time-scale? Thanks for helping!

Great thanks! Sorry, "field-based" was misleading, I mean mainly "non-experimental". Okay, so well-mixed soils are hard.. But you can estimate the "average" age with the isotopes? What is the ball park of temporal resolution with those that you can achieve?

Me! Want to get in 😇

Applied with soils where material keeps mixing, so no clear profiles that could help. I have tried to read the literature but not sure I have gained a lot so far?

Please, help me to link with the people who know these stuff 🙏 (2/2)

Cheers! (4/4)

As snow ❄️ patterns shift, the ripple effects on plants, animals, and microbes are profound. My work explores these changes to understand the future of these ecosystems. Follow for insights on how snow holds the key to Arctic life! ⛄ #ArcticScience #ClimateChange #Biodiversity (3/x)

I’m a scientist in Finland, studying how arctic-alpine ecosystems function and adapt to climate change. These systems are (fascinatingly!) both fragile and resilient, much relying on snow—not just as winter’s cover, but as a life-shaping force that creates and shelters the unique biodiversity (2/x)
