Permafrost soils are particularly vulnerable to global climate change, and warming air temperatures could turn them from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Estimates of Arctic carbon stocks are still highly uncertain, despite their importance to predict the magnitude of CO2 and CH4 release to the atm...
