A process-based model reveals that how much carbon peatlands may lose—or accumulate—in the future varies from place to place.

Permafrost
In the future, climate change could abruptly increase the amount of methane released by lakes in the permafrost regions of the Arctic. The explanation: because of thawing permafrost, these

This can dramatically change the landscapes and water cycle in permafrost regions, while also affecting
