Permafrost soils are especially vulnerable to global climate change and warming temperatures can 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 atmosphere....
