Permafrost degradation affects ecosystems, communities and industrial sites in large [...] the evolution of permafrost under these conditions is of great importance. Due to an often-prevailing harsh climate in these vast areas, observational data sets are sparse. Permafrost itself is a sub-surface [...] which seasonal snow cover has on the ground surface, strongly affects the permafrost’s thermal regime and active 1Permafrost is defined as any material beneath the ground surface that remains frozen for

The Siberian permafrost regions include those areas of the Earth, which heat up very quickly in the course of climate change. Nevertheless, biologists are currently observing
