Permafrost-carbon mobilization in Beringia caused by deglacial meltwater runoff, sea-level rise and warming
During the last deglaciation (18–8 kyr BP), shelf flooding and warming presumably led to a large-scale decomposition of permafrost soils in the mid-to-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. Microbial degradation of old organic matter released from the decomposing permafrost potentially contribut...
