Decomposition of labile and recalcitrant soil organic matter of Gleyic Cryosols in permafrost region of Siberia

Climate change models predict that the mean global surface air temperatures will increase by between 1.4 and 5.8°C until the end of the twenty-first century (IPCC, 2001). As a result, decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is expected to be accelerated, thereby releasing
