Arctic ecosystems have acted as a carbon sink, accumulating >1000 Pg of carbon in soils. However, increasing air temperatures and associated degradation of ice-rich permafrost in the Arctic hold the potential to modify soil topography and hydrology, with significant effects on carbon cycling. Thi...
