Sources of CO2 Produced in Freshly Thawed Pleistocene-Age Yedoma Permafrost

The release of greenhouse gases from the large organic carbon stock in permafrost deposits in the circumarctic regions may accelerate global warming upon thaw. The extent of this positive climate feedback is thought to be largely controlled by the microbial degradability of the organic matter preser...
