Active layer and permafrost thermal regimes in the ice-free areas of Antarctica
Abstract Ice-free areas occupy< 0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the
continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by …

The importance of understanding annual and shorter-term temperature patterns and variation in the surface levels of polar soils for terrestrial biota
Ground temperatures in the top few centimetres of the soil profile are key in many biological
processes yet remain very poorly documented, especially in the polar regions or over longer …

Characteristics of ground surface temperature at Chala** in the Source Area of the Yellow River, northeastern Tibetan Plateau
Abstract Permafrost on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is controlled by high-elevation and the
complex hydrothermal processes and energy balance on the ground surface. To …

Hydrothermal processes of near-surface warm permafrost in response to strong precipitation events in the Headwater Area of the Yellow River, Tibetan Plateau
Permafrost is mostly warm and thermally unstable on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), particularly in
some marginal areas, thereby being susceptible to degrade or even disappear under …

Vascular plant changes in extreme environments: effects of multiple drivers
Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula is one of three regions of the planet that have experienced
the highest rates of climate warming over recent decades. Based on a comprehensive large …
