The global methane (CH 4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for
managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due to a shorter …

Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water
transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this …

Soils and other unconsolidated deposits in the northern circumpolar permafrost region store
large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC). This SOC is potentially vulnerable to …

Achieving carbon neutrality is crucial for urban ecosystems. Forests growing near cities
largely determine the state of the environment in urban areas. The aim of the present …

Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil
properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands …

The Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database was developed in order to determine
carbon pools in soils of the northern circumpolar permafrost region. The area of all soils in …

Peatlands contain a large belowground carbon (C) stock in the biosphere, and their
dynamics have important implications for the global carbon cycle. However, there are still …

Peatlands offer a series of ecosystem services including carbon storage, biomass
production, and climate regulation. Climate change and rapid land use change are …

Over the next century, near‐surface permafrost across the circumpolar Arctic is expected to
degrade significantly, particularly for land areas south of 70° N. This is likely to cause …

Abstract The Western Siberia Lowland (WSL), the world's largest permafrost peatland, is of
importance for understanding the high-latitude carbon (C) cycle and its response to climate …
