The formation, growth and drainage of lakes in Arctic and boreal lowland permafrost regions
influence landscape and ecosystem processes. These lake and drained lake basin (L-DLB) …

Permafrost carbon feedback (PCF) modeling has focused on gradual thaw of near-surface
permafrost leading to enhanced carbon dioxide and methane emissions that accelerate …

The northern mid-to high-latitudes have the highest total number and area of lakes on Earth.
Lake origins in these regions are diverse, but to a large extent coupled to glacial, permafrost …

Local observations indicate that climate change and shifting disturbance regimes are
causing permafrost degradation. However, the occurrence and distribution of permafrost …

Widespread across northern permafrost landscapes, thermokarst ponds and lakes provide
vital wildlife habitat and play a key role in biogeochemical processes. Stored in the …

High-latitude environments store nearly half of the planet's below-ground organic carbon
(OC), mostly in perennially frozen permafrost soils. Climatic changes drive increased export …

Waterbodies such as lakes and ponds are abundant in vast Arctic landscapes and strongly
affect the thermal state of the surrounding permafrost. In order to gain a better understanding …

Arctic tundra vegetation has largely been “greening” in recent decades, resulting in major
changes to terrestrial ecosystems, with implications for surface energy balance, permafrost …

Thermokarst lakes accelerate deep permafrost thaw and the mobilization of previously
frozen soil organic carbon. This leads to microbial decomposition and large releases of …

Wetlands in Arctic drained lake basins (DLBs) have a high potential for carbon storage in
vegetation and peat as well as for elevated greenhouse gas emissions. However, the …
