Soil Climate Monitoring in Antarctica
The Soil Science Society of America has put out a small article about soil monitoring in Antarctica.
From the article:
Relatively little is known about soil climate in Antarctica and the effect that it has on other processes, such as weathering, and on the pedogenic behavior of cold and dry soils. Also, soil moisture and temperature are key influences on the viability of microorganisms and plants in Antarctic soil ecosystems. Information obtained from this project could have implications for soil management and interpretations in other cold areas, such as Alaska.
The Stevens Hydra Probe has been in use for almost 10 years in extreme cold climates, including the research mentioned above in Antarctica. Continue reading to find out more about soil research in Antarctica.
