Tip** elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

Permafrost regions at high latitudes and altitudes store about half of the Earth's soil organic
carbon (SOC). These areas are also some of the most intensely affected by anthropogenic …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

The permafrost zone is expected to be a substantial carbon source to the atmosphere, yet
large-scale models currently only simulate gradual changes in seasonally thawed soil …

Permafrost thaw can stimulate microbial decomposition and induce soil carbon (C) loss,
potentially triggering a positive C-climate feedback. However, earlier observations have …

This review summarizes current understanding of how climate change-driven physical and
ecological processes influence the levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and …

Rapid permafrost thaw in the high-latitude and high-elevation areas increases hillslope
susceptibility to landsliding by altering geotechnical properties of hillslope materials …

The Arctic is a water-rich region, with freshwater systems covering about 16% of the northern
permafrost landscape. Permafrost thaw creates new freshwater ecosystems, while at the …

Input of labile carbon may accelerate the decomposition of existing soil organic matter
(priming effect), with the priming intensity depending on changes in soil nitrogen availability …
