SoilGrids1km—global soil information based on automated mapping
Background Soils are widely recognized as a non-renewable natural resource and as
biophysical carbon sinks. As such, there is a growing requirement for global soil information …

Estimated stocks of circumpolar permafrost carbon with quantified uncertainty ranges and identified data gaps
Soils and other unconsolidated deposits in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store
large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This SOC is potentially vulnerable to …

Soil viruses are underexplored players in ecosystem carbon processing
Rapidly thawing permafrost harbors∼ 30 to 50% of global soil carbon, and the fate of this
carbon remains unknown. Microorganisms will play a central role in its fate, and their viruses …

Biogeography of photoautotrophs in the high polar biome
The global latitudinal gradient in biodiversity weakens in the high polar biome and so an
alternative explanation for distribution of Arctic and Antarctic photoautotrophs is required …

Nitrogen availability increases in a tundra ecosystem during five years of experimental permafrost thaw
Perennially frozen soil in high latitude ecosystems (permafrost) currently stores 1330–1580
Pg of carbon (C). As these ecosystems warm, the thaw and decomposition of permafrost is …

A pan‐Arctic synthesis of CH4 and CO2 production from anoxic soil incubations
Permafrost thaw can alter the soil environment through changes in soil moisture, frequently
resulting in soil saturation, a shift to anaerobic decomposition, and changes in the plant …

Adding depth to our understanding of nitrogen dynamics in permafrost soils
Losses of C from decomposing permafrost may be offset by increased productivity of tundra
plants, but nitrogen availability partially limits plant growth in tundra ecosystems. In this soil …

Unprecedented increases in total and methyl mercury concentrations downstream of retrogressive thaw slumps in the western Canadian Arctic
Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are thermokarst features created by the rapid thaw of ice-
rich permafrost, and can mobilize vast quantities of sediments and solutes downstream …

[HTML][HTML] Comparative carbon cycle dynamics of the present and last interglacial
Abstract Changes in temperature and carbon dioxide during glacial cycles recorded in
Antarctic ice cores are tightly coupled. However, this relationship does not hold for …
