Missing nitrogen source during ecosystem succession within retrogressive thaw slumps in Alaska

Missing nitrogen source during ecosystem succession within retrogressive thaw slumps in Alaska

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS)—thermal erosion of soil and vegetation after ground ice thaw—are increasing. Recovery of plant biomass after RTS is important for maintaining Arctic carbon (C) stocks and is regulated by nutrient availability for new plant growth. Many RTS are characterized by verdant...
