What determines the current presence or absence of permafrost in the Torneträsk region, a sub-arctic landscape in northern Sweden?
M Johansson, TR Christensen, HJ Akerman… - AMBIO: A Journal of the …, 2006 - BioOne
In a warming climate, permafrost is likely to be significantly reduced and eventually
disappear from the sub-Arctic region. This will affect people at a range of scales, from locally …
