Predicting the vulnerability of permafrost carbon (C) to climate change requires simulation of the permafrost’s annual dynamics coupled with the C cycle, as well as the soil water status which determines aerobic or anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. Quantitative long-term water and energy ba...
