Here Today, Gone Tomorrow? Using Contrasting Peatland Histories To Determine Fate Of Permafrost Carbon With Future Climate Change And Permafrost Thaw
Climate warming in high-latitude regions has resulted in thawing of carbon-rich permafrost soils. Permafrost thaw can result in the decomposition of previously frozen soil organic matter, releasing CO2 and CH4, which can enhance climate warming. In permafrost peatlands, soil organic matter has been...
