This reservoir constitutes 25 % of the global soil organic carbon (SOC) pool (Lal and Kimble, 2000). In the northern hemi-sphere, Gelisols cover 7.7 × 106 km2 and contain 268 Pg of SOC in the upper 100 cm of the soil profi le (Tarnocai et al., 2003). There is increasing concern that warming observed in the arctic will lead to an increase in the depth of the active layer, or the uppermost soil layer above permafrost that experiences thawing in summer and freezing in winter. Recently, Lawrence and Slater (2005) proposed that by 2100, only 10 % of the current 10.5 million km2 of permafrost is likely to remain within 3.4 m of the ground surface. Although these estimates may be extreme (Burn and Nelson, 2006), there is consensus that the upper permafrost will experience widespread thaw in this century (Anisimov and Nelson, 1997). Jorgenson et al. (2006) documented extensive permafrost degradation and thermokarst formation in arctic Alaska during the past 25 yr. Thawing of the near-surface perma-frost could enhance the release of CO2 and CH4 into the atmo-sphere from decomposition of SOC (Waelbroeck et al., 1997). Permafrost-affected soils constitute one of the three most vul-nerable sources of SOC to global warming (Intergovernmental Text Arctic Global warming permafrost Thermokarst Alaska Unknown Arctic Bockheim ENVELOPE(161.983,161.983,-78.033,-78.033) |
