Under a warming climate, degrading permafrost profoundly and extensively affects arctic
and alpine ecology. However, most existing relevant studies are more focused on the …

Where present, permafrost exerts a primary control on water fluxes, flowpaths, and
distribution. Climate warming and related drivers of soil thermal change are expected to …

Abstract Changes in the frequency and extent of wildfires are expected to lead to substantial
and irreversible alterations to permafrost landscapes under a warming climate. Here we …

In boreal and arctic regions, forest fires exert great influences on biogeochemical processes,
hydrothermal dynamics of the active layer and near-surface permafrost, and subsequent …

Wildfires are an important factor in controlling forest ecosystem dynamics across the
circumpolar boreal zone. An improved understanding of their direct and indirect, short-to …

Fire severity is a key fire regime characteristic with high ecological and carbon cycle
relevance. Prior studies on boreal forest fires primarily focused on mapping severity in North …

Although it has been recognized that rising temperatures and shifts in the hydrological cycle
affect the depth of the seasonally thawing upper permafrost stratum, it remains unclear to …

Observations taken over the last few decades indicate that dramatic changes are occurring
in the Arctic‐Boreal Zone (ABZ), which are having significant impacts on ABZ inhabitants …

Permafrost underlies one-quarter of the Northern Hemisphere but is at increasing risk of
thaw from climate warming. Recent studies across the Arctic have identified areas of rapid …

Soil hydrological processes are extremely complex in high-altitude regions and are
recognized to have positive effects on soil quality, nutrient cycling, herbage yield, and runoff …
