inducing more permafrost thaw and carbon release. To assess the concern of a permafrost-climate feedback and to develop a better understanding of future permafrost-carbon dynamics, the Permafrost Biogeochemistry [...] drastic changes in Arctic permafrost landscapes, such as active layer deepening, thermal erosion and development of rapid thaw features. Organic matter stored frozen in permafrost deposits for thousands of [...] Characterizing the past, present and future changes of permafrost organic matter under warming climate and changing land use.
