Human-induced climate warming by 2100 is expected to thaw large expanses of northern
permafrost peatlands. However, the spatio-temporal dynamics of permafrost peatland thaw …

Permafrost peatlands contain globally important amounts of soil organic carbon, owing to
cold conditions which suppress anaerobic decomposition. However, climate warming and …

Widespread establishment of peatlands since the Last Glacial Maximum represents the
activation of a globally important carbon sink, but the drivers of peat initiation are unclear …

The ice-and organic-rich permafrost of the northeast Siberian Arctic lowlands (NESAL) has
been projected to remain stable beyond 2100, even under pessimistic climate warming …

Large amounts of soil carbon deposited in permafrost may be released due to deeper
seasonal thawing under the climatic conditions projected for the future. An increase in the …

In this study we provide a quantification of the main patterns of change of a subarctic
peatland caused by permafrost decay monitored between 1957 and 2003. Up‐thrusting of …

This first comprehensive global assessment on the links between peatland degradation and
climate change shows that clearance, drainage and fires in peatlands emit more than 3 …

The permafrost regions occupy about 25% of the Northern Hemisphere's terrestrial surface,
and more than 60% of that of Russia. Warming, thawing, and degradation of permafrost …

The majority of northern peatlands were initiated during the Holocene. Owing to their mass
imbalance, they have sequestered huge amounts of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems …

Western Siberia is a unique bog region. Siberian peatlands have been a major sink of
atmospheric carbon since the last deglaciation and, on the other hand, in some epochs–like …
