Warming-induced permafrost thaw exacerbates tundra soil carbon decomposition mediated by microbial community

Abstract Background It is well-known that global warming has effects on high-latitude tundra underlain with permafrost. This leads to a severe concern that decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) previously stored in this region, which accounts for about 50% of the world’s SOC storage, will cause...
