Pilot studies of the unique highland palsa mire in Western Sayan (Tuva Republic, Russian Federation)
In contrast to the well-studied West Siberian sector of frozen bogs in the Russian Arctic, the frozen mound bogs (so-called “palsas”) on the highlands of Southern Siberia have not yet been studied, but they are suspected to be even more sensitive to ongoing climate change. This article provides the...
