Question
Researchers in Alaska conducted an artificial soil warming experiment to examine
how a warming arctic might affect the nitrogen cycle. The active layer of the soils
(that is, soils not frozen all year) were either not heated throughout the growing
season (control), or warmed 3 degrees C throughout the growing season (soil
warming). The study ran for 5 years, from 2013 to 2017. Which of the following
statements is not supported by the data provided?
() the soils must contain some source of immobilized nitrogen if detectable
mineralization rates are occurring
the difference in nitrogen mineralization rates between warmed soils and control
soils increased through time
If climate change leads to warming in the arctic, it would be expected to increase
nitrogen mineralization rates over broad areas
over the course of the study, denitrification rates will be higher in control soils
compared to warmed soils
warmed soils exhibited higher nitrogen mineralization rates than control soils
