Arctic wetlands are a globally significant store of soil organic carbon. They are often characterized by ice-wedge polygons, which are diagnostic of lowland permafrost, and which greatly influence wetland hydrology and biogeochemistry during summer. The degradation of ice-wedge polygons, which can o...
