TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that current evidence suggests a gradual and prolonged release of greenhouse gas emissions in a warming climate and present a research strategy with which to target poorly understood aspects of permafrost carbon dynamics.

TL;DR: A review of experimental and observational studies of peatland dynamics indicates that the main global change impacts on peatlands that may have significant climate change impacts are drainage, especially in the tropics; widespread permafrost thaw; and increased fire intensity and frequency as a result of drier climatic conditions and (or) drainage.

TL;DR: This study compiles over 7,000 field observations to present a data-driven map of northern peatlands and their carbon and nitrogen stocks, and uses machine-learning techniques with extensive peat core data to create observation-based maps ofNorthern peatland C and N stocks and to assess their response to warming and permafrost thaw.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of soil incubation studies from the permafrost zone suggests that thawing under aerobic conditions, which releases CO2, will strengthen the carbon feedback more than waterlogged systems, which release CO2 and CH4.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used quantitative PCR of the α-subunit of mcr operon to explore the influence of soil climate manipulations on methanogen abundances.
