Evidence for non-steady-state carbon emissions from snow-scoured alpine tundra
The potential contribution of high altitude permafrost as a climate feedback is unknown. Here the authors show seven years of sustained carbon emissions from snow-scoured alpine tundra including respiration of older carbon substrate from solifluction lobes associated with permafrost during the winte...

Summary: | The potential contribution of high altitude permafrost as a climate feedback is unknown. Here the authors show seven years of sustained carbon emissions from snow-scoured alpine tundra including respiration of older carbon substrate from solifluction lobes associated with permafrost during the winter. |
