Shawn,

As I understand it we are looking at the affect of fertilization on sub soil carbon. The fertilizer is applied to mimic what would happen if the climate were warmer. They are trying to find out if the carbon that is stored in the permafrost of the arctic will be released if the temperatures are warmer.

If the carbon is released as temperatures warm then there may be even more carbon than is in the air right now.
