Latitudinal transect relationship between soil organic horizons and permafrost depth in Alaska
In this contribution, we examined a latitudinal soil transect from interior Alaska, focusing on morphological, physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost affected soils. The aim of this work was to evaluate if latitude (a proxy for temperature change) or other soil forming factors may affec...

In this contribution, we examined a latitudinal soil transect from interior Alaska, focusing on morphological, physical and chemical characteristics of permafrost affected soils.

Along this gradient, the plant community changed from boreal forest to moist tundra, but this change did not affect the amount of C stored in the organic horizons and the permafrost depth.
