...In addition to there being an abundance of carbon that is vulnerable to being released with warming, there are questions surrounding the relative biodegradability of this organic matter, which is likely to have been subject to limited decomposition.(36) Our research at CBAWO suggests that although spring thaw and flushing of the surface soil horizons typically releases the highest contributions of POC, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) over the season, permafrost disturbance combined with changes to rainfall stand to significantly affect both the mass and the composition of the organic carbon transferred between the terrestrial and aquatic systems....

...The total carbon stored in the circumpolar permafrost is estimated to be approximately 1300 Pg of C, of this 800 Pg is in permafrost, while the remaining 500 Pg is in the active layer.(35) There is, therefore, approximately an equal mass of carbon in Arctic permafrost, that is, potentially vulnerable to decomposition and mobilization following permafrost thaw and/or disturbance, as there is carbon in the atmosphere....
