The warming and thawing of ice-rich permafrost pose considerable threat to the integrity of
polar and high-altitude infrastructure, in turn jeopardizing sustainable development. In this …

Arctic permafrost stores nearly 1,700 billion metric tons of frozen and thawing carbon.
Anthropogenic warming threatens to release an unknown quantity of this carbon to the …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

How to transfer industrial exhaust gases of nitrogen oxides into high‐values product is
significantly important and challenging. Herein, we demonstrate an innovative method for …

Pristine wetlands have high potential for mitigating climate change because of their large
carbon stocks. However, whether and where wetlands will act as a greenhouse gas sink or …

Permafrost regions at high latitudes and altitudes store about half of the Earth's soil organic
carbon (SOC). These areas are also some of the most intensely affected by anthropogenic …

This assessment by the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) of the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) provides the latest scientific update since our …

Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

In contrast to the well-recognized permafrost carbon (C) feedback to climate change, the fate
of permafrost nitrogen (N) after thaw is poorly understood. According to mounting evidence …
