Increased soil carbon release from thawing permafrost through the [...] to understand how the interactions between the vegetation, permafrost and the atmosphere stabilize the forests and the underlying permafrost. A one-dimensional land surface model (CryoGrid) is adapted

deep permafrost soil carbon pools to rapid thaw and resulting impacts.
