Contribution of permafrost soils to the global carbon budget

Contribution of permafrost soils to the global carbon budget

Climate warming affects permafrost soil carbon pools in two opposing ways: enhanced vegetation growth leads to higher carbon inputs to the soil, whereas permafrost melting accelerates decomposition and hence carbon release. Here, we study the spatial and temporal dynamics of these two processes unde...
