Soils of Cold and Permafrost‐Affected Landscapes
Cold soils and permafrost‐affected soils developed in arctic and boreal climates are found in both the northern and the southern circumpolar regions as well as in high elevations in mountainous terrain. Most of the cold soils, especially those containing permafrost, are affected by cryogenic process...
