Tundra ecosystems store large amounts of carbon in plants and soil, creating strong potential feedback to climate change. Plants directly control the uptake and microbes the release of carbon, but they do not operate in isolation. I will illustrate how plant-soil-microbe responses to permafrost thaw can link through belowground ecosystems.
