Climate change and permafrost

This study quantifies how permafrost degradation affects plant biodiversity in sub-Arctic palsa mires, showing significant biodiversity loss in completely thawed mires and highlighting lichen loss and vascular plant shifts.

The paper quantifies methane and carbon dioxide emissions from an active retrogressive thaw slump in the Canadian Arctic, showing significant greenhouse gas release from thawing permafrost.

This study investigates how biotic and environmental factors influence microbial degradation of permafrost organic matter using an in situ thaw experiment.

This study measures volatile sulfur compound emissions from thawing permafrost and bacterial strains, showing similar VSCs are produced by both and linked to specific metabolic pathways.

This study shows that phenological shifts in an Arctic community vary with time-windows, revealing moderate warming trends and species-specific responses.

This study identifies consistent microbial responses to permafrost thaw across different soil types in Alaska, showing increased biomass and specific taxa abundance linked to carbon flux.

The paper examines microbial community composition and its impact on wintertime greenhouse gas fluxes in an oroarctic tundra ecosystem, showing that microbial activity explains GHG emissions beyond abiotic factors.

This study examines methane and nitrogen oxide emissions from thawing Arctic yedoma permafrost, revealing seasonal microbial processes that influence greenhouse gas release.
