In recent [...] accumulated in the Arctic. For a long time, permafrost was assumed to be a perfect storage for these potentially hazardous wastes. Nowadays, the permafrost thaws Arctic-wide and increases the risk of [...] that characterize intact permafrost ecosystems. to understand the resilience of ecosystems to pollutants (self-healing ability) to assess pollutant mobilization caused by permafrost thaw to develop strategies
