Peatlands within the northern permafrost region cover approximately 2 million km2 and are
characterized by organic soils that can be several meters thick, and a fine-scale mosaic of …

Hofgaard, A. Effects of climate change on the distribution and development of palsa
peatlands: background and suggestions for a national monitoring project. NINA Project …

Abstract Peatlands cover 3-5% of the world's land area but store~ 30% of terrestrial soil
carbon. Peat accumulates where plant net primary production (NPP) exceeds carbon losses …

I am grateful to my supervisor, Dr. Ross W. Wein, for encouraging me to begin a masters
degree, for suggesting the thesis topic, and for his ideas and support throughout the last two …

Boreal and arctic regions are predicted to warm faster and more severely than temperate
latitudes. They contain large stocks of below-ground soil carbon in peatlands and frozen …

Northern circumpolar permafrost peatlands store~ 300 Pg of organic carbon (C), and play a
critical role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles. Amplified warming in high-latitude …

Permafrost peatlands store one‐third of the total carbon (C) in the atmosphere and are
increasingly vulnerable to thaw as high‐latitude temperatures warm. Large uncertainties …

Climate warming in discontinuous permafrost peatlands is causing permafrost loss and
changes in ecosystem dynamics at an unprecedented rate. Though rates of permafrost loss …

The history of permafrost aggradation and thaw in northern peatlands can serve as an
indicator of regional climatic history in regions where records are sparse. We infer regional …

Northern peatlands contain a large terrestrial carbon pool that plays an important role in the
Earth's carbon cycle. A considerable fraction of this carbon pool is currently in permafrost …
