Variations in soil carbon dioxide efflux across a thaw slump chronosequence in northwestern Alaska
Warming of the arctic landscape results in permafrost thaw, which causes ground subsidence or thermokarst. Thermokarst formation on hillslopes leads to the formation of thermal erosion features that dramatically alter soil properties and likely affect soil carbon emissions, but such features have re...
