Decadal-scale hotspot methane ebullition within lakes following abrupt permafrost thaw

Decadal-scale hotspot methane ebullition within lakes following abrupt permafrost thaw

Thermokarst lakes accelerate deep permafrost thaw and the mobilization of previously frozen soil organic carbon. This leads to microbial decomposition and large releases of carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) and methane (CH _4 ) that enhance climate warming. However, the time scale of permafrost-carbon emissio...
