Permafrost response to vegetation greenness variation in the Arctic tundra through positive feedback in surface air temperature and snow cover

The permafrost response to variations in Arctic vegetation remains controversial. We investigated the consequences of Arctic vegetation greenness variation over the past three decades using a coupled land-atmosphere model and found that it induces air temperature perturbation, which is further ampli...
