Thermokarst lakes are formed as a result of thawing ice-rich permafrost, transforming vast
permafrost soil into lake sediment and changing the biogeochemistry of carbon (C), nitrogen …

Thermokarst lakes play a key role in the hydrological and biogeochemical cycles of
permafrost regions. Current knowledge regarding the changes caused by permafrost …

Thermokarst lakes are widespread and developing on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP), and
they have modified hydrological processes and water balance in the region. Despite …

Abstract Purpose Variation in C/N/P stoichiometry during sediment burial is related to
elemental biogeochemistry cycles from the hydrosphere to the lithosphere. However, C/N/P …

Permafrost degradation and the development of thermokarst lakes are important factors
driving the variability of regional hydrologic processes. Hydrogeochemical and isotopic …

Purpose Previous studies have reported the occurrence of a Redfield-type ratio (eg, C/N/P,
C/N, C/P, or N/P) between C, N, and P concentrations in marine and (in part) terrestrial …

Earth's critical zone is defined as a plant–soil–water system, which covers a wide area and
has a large vertical thickness, but the soil elemental stoichiometry characteristics of the …

The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), the largest high-altitude and low-latitude permafrost
zone in the world, has experienced rapid permafrost degradation in recent decades, and …

Thermokarst lake is the most visible morphologic landscape developing during the process
of permafrost degradation, and it is still an international hot topic in permafrost research. The …

The formation of thermokarst lakes can degrade alpine meadow ecosystems through
changes in soil water and heat properties, which might have an effect on the regional …
