A synthesis of the arctic terrestrial and marine carbon cycles under pressure from a dwindling cryosphere

Abstract The current downturn of the arctic cryosphere, such as the strong loss of sea ice, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and permafrost thaw, affects the marine and terrestrial carbon cycles in numerous interconnected ways. Nonetheless, processes in the ocean and on land have been too often c...
