Under a warming climate, degrading permafrost profoundly and extensively affects arctic
and alpine ecology. However, most existing relevant studies are more focused on the …

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

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 …

Tree planting is increasingly being proposed as a strategy to combat climate change
through carbon (C) sequestration in tree biomass. However, total ecosystem C storage that …

As global temperatures continue to rise, a key uncertainty of climate projections is the
microbial decomposition of vast organic carbon stocks in thawing permafrost soils …

It is generally believed that there is a vegetation succession sequence from alpine marsh
meadow to desert in the alpine ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, we still …

The large amounts of soil organic matter (SOM) in permafrost-affected soils are prone to
increased microbial decomposition in a warming climate. The environmental parameters …

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

Climate change in Arctic ecosystems fosters permafrost thaw and makes massive amounts
of ancient soil organic carbon (OC) available to microbial breakdown. However, fractions of …

The decomposition of large stocks of soil organic carbon in thawing permafrost might
depend on more than climate change-induced temperature increases: indirect effects of …
