Permafrost and organic layer interactions over a climate gradient in a discontinuous permafrost zone

Permafrost and organic layer interactions over a climate gradient in a discontinuous permafrost zone

Permafrost is tightly coupled to the organic soil layer, an interaction that mediates permafrost degradation in response to regional warming. We analyzed changes in permafrost occurrence and organic layer thickness (OLT) using more than 3000 soil pedons across a mean annual temperature (MAT) gradien...
