Microbial iron cycling during palsa hillslope collapse promotes greenhouse gas emissions before complete permafrost thaw
Microbial reduction and dissolution of reactive iron (III) mobilizes mineral-bound organic carbon, which contributes to carbon dioxide production and promotes methanogenesis and methane emission before complete permafrost thaw, according to an observational study along collapsing palsa hillslopes in...
