The study of climatically active gas flows on carbonic polygons is a topic of growing significance in the field of environmental science and climate research. Carbonic polygons, also known as ice-wedge polygons, are distinctive geomorphological features found in permafrost regions. These polygonal patterns play a critical role in the dynamics of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane and carbon dioxide, which are potent contributors to global warming. As our planet experiences the effects of climate change, understanding the mechanisms and factors influencing gas emissions from these carbonic polygons becomes essential. This study delves into the complex interactions between permafrost, vegetation, and gas fluxes, shedding light on how these interactions can impact our climate. Investigating climatically active gas flows on carbonic polygons is not only a scientific endeavor but also a proactive step toward addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
