About the Boreal Nitrogen Gap Project
The Boreal Nitrogen Gap project is a three year NERC funded research project aiming to explain the size, fate and impacts of biological nitrogen fixation in forest ecosystems of northern Fennoscandia.
Our goal is to advance understanding of the ecology of the feather moss - cyanobacterial association, and to explore the links between inputs of biologically fixed N, the soil microbial community, forest productivity, and greenhouse gas emissions. We aim to extend this knowledge to existing ecosystem models to improve predictions of future carbon balance for the boreal region.
