International audience Cryosols in tundra ecosystems contain large stocks of organic carbon as peat and as organic cryoturbated layers. Increased organic mater decomposition rate in those Arctic soils due to increasing soil temperatures and to permafrost thawing can lead to the release of greenhouse...
