Climate change and associated Arctic amplification cause a degradation of permafrost
which in turn has major implications for the environment. The potential turnover of frozen …

Global climate change is influencing the seasonal cycle amplitude of atmospheric CO2
(SCA), with the strongest increases at northern high latitudes (NHL;> 45° N). In this Review …

Global climate change may result in changes in snow cover, which may enhance freeze-
thaw phenomena in mid and high latitude and high elevation ecosystems, especially in the …

Permafrost degradation in peatlands is altering vegetation and soil properties and impacting
net carbon storage. We studied four adjacent sites in Alaska with varied permafrost regimes …

Agricultural soil contamination in seasonally frozen land threatens food security. It is
necessary to investigate the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on heavy metal bioavailability so …

An important feature of the Arctic is large spatial heterogeneity in active layer conditions,
which is generally poorly represented by global models and can lead to large uncertainties …

Snow patterns in ice-free areas of Greenland play important roles in ecosystems. Within a
changing climate, a comprehensive understanding of the snow responses to climate change …

Prescribed burning has been readopted in the last decade in the Central Pyrenees to stop
the regression of subalpine grasslands in favour of shrublands, dominated among others by …

Wet snow and the icing events that frequently follow wintertime rain-on-snow (ROS) affect
high latitude ecosystems at multiple spatial and temporal scales, including hydrology …

Purpose Ongoing global warming is decreasing the thickness of snow covers and
increasing initial soil moisture content (SMC), which increase the number of freeze-thaw …
