The role of seasonality is indisputable in climate and ecosystem dynamics. Seasonal
temperature and precipitation variability are of vital importance for the availability of food …

Knowledge of soils in the permafrost region has advanced immensely in recent decades,
despite the remoteness and inaccessibility of most of the region and the sampling limitations …

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

The rich fossil record of equids has made them a model for evolutionary processes. Here we
present a 1.12-times coverage draft genome from a horse bone recovered from permafrost …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

Ice-rich permafrost in the circum-Arctic and sub-Arctic (hereafter pan-Arctic), such as late
Pleistocene Yedoma, are especially prone to degradation due to climate change or human …

Soils in Arctic and boreal ecosystems store twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, a
portion of which may be released as high-latitude soils warm. Some of the uncertainty in the …

This synthesis addresses the vulnerability of the North American high‐latitude soil organic
carbon (SOC) pool to climate change. Disturbances caused by climate warming in arctic …

This paper accompanies a map that shows the extent of permafrost in the Northern
Hemisphere between 25 and 17 thousand years ago. The map is based upon existing …

Syngenetically frozen deposits that are fine-grained and ice-rich are widely distributed in
lowlands of northeastern Siberia, Alaska and northwestern Canada. These late Pleistocene …
