Carbon Balance in Warming and Drying Tundra 2012

Dear Mr. Wood, I hope everyone in your team is doing well. I have another question, I want to know when the flowers grow in the tundra. Thank you Jessica Mrs. Dennis class Courreges Elementary

Everybody is good here, thank you for asking. The weather has really been warming up lately. We nearly reached 40 F yesterday and it was very nice. If this weather holds up we may get an early spring and more flowers. I know last year the flowers really began showing up around the middle end of May. But by August there were tons of flowers and berries growing everywhere! I will keep my eyes open for the first blooms. First the snow has to melt more so that the ground is exposed.Thanks for the questions, and say hello to Mrs. Dennis and the class for us.
Mr. Wood
