Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) Thawed soils in Antarctica represent organic carbon (C) reservoirs with great potential to increase the net losses of CO2 to the atmosphere under climate change scenarios. This study spatially zones CO2 emissions from soil and vege...
