Environmental spaces for palsas and peat plateaus are disappearing at a circumpolar scale
<p>Anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be critically endangered habitats. In this study, we integrated geospatial datasets and statistical...
