Arctic permafrost stores nearly 1,700 billion metric tons of frozen and thawing carbon.
Anthropogenic warming threatens to release an unknown quantity of this carbon to the …

The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

The Arctic cryosphere is collapsing, posing overlap** environmental risks. In particular,
thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that …

Permafrost, characterized by its frozen soil, serves as a unique habitat for diverse
microorganisms. Understanding these microbial communities is crucial for predicting the …

The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the
microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter …

The Arctic is currently warming at unprecedented rates because of global climate change,
resulting in thawing of large tracts of permafrost soil. A great challenge is understanding the …

It is well known that cold environments are predominant over the Earth and there are a great
number of reports analyzing bacterial adaptations to cold. Most of these works are focused …

One quarter of the Northern hemisphere is underlain by permanently frozen ground, referred
to as permafrost. Due to climate warming, irreversibly thawing permafrost is releasing …

Life can be stressful. One way to deal with stress is to simply wait it out. Microbes do this by
entering a state of reduced activity and increased resistance commonly called 'dormancy' …

Warming-induced microbial decomposition of organic matter in permafrost soils constitutes a
climate-change feedback of uncertain magnitude. While physicochemical constraints on soil …
