    In late winter 2016, I traveled to Finland for my sabbatical. This included a Science-Art Residency program (with the incomparable artist, Kim Reasor) at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Field Station, up in Finnish Lapland at 69 degrees north, involving the microbiology (and art!) of snow and ice. I took the snow, ice and lake water samples…

We found that elevated CO2 increased root production, which led to an increase in fungal diversity in these soils.  The results were published in Global Change…
