Predicted vulnerability of carbon in permafrost peatlands with future climate change and permafrost thaw in Western Canada
Climate warming in high‐latitude regions is thawing carbon‐rich permafrost soils, which can
release carbon to the atmosphere and enhance climate warming. Using a coupled model of …
