Permafrost carbon emissions in a changing Arctic | Nature Reviews Earth & Environment
Large stores of carbon could be released to the atmosphere from Arctic warming, driving permafrost thaw. This Review examines the processes that impact Arctic permafrost carbon emissions, how they might change in the future and ways to monitor and predict these changes.
