Vertical greenery systems (VGS) integrate vegetation into the building facades to reduce
wall surface temperature, thereby reducing building energy consumption. The mechanisms …

Living wall systems are a relatively new form of façade cladding treatment on buildings.
Bringing a host of benefits such as added biodiversity, they also have the potential to aid the …

Soils in Arctic and boreal ecosystems store twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, a
portion of which may be released as high-latitude soils warm. Some of the uncertainty in the …

The resilience and vulnerability of permafrost to climate change depends on complex
interactions among topography, water, soil, vegetation, and snow, which allow permafrost to …

This synthesis addresses the vulnerability of the North American high‐latitude soil organic
carbon (SOC) pool to climate change. Disturbances caused by climate warming in arctic …

Peatlands have acted as net CO2 sinks over millennia, exerting a global climate cooling
effect. Rapid warming at northern latitudes, where peatlands are abundant, can disturb their …

Carbon release from thawing permafrost soils could significantly exacerbate global warming
as the active‐layer deepens, exposing more carbon to decay. Plant community and soil …

As permafrost degrades, the amount of organic soil carbon (C) that thaws during the growing
season will increase, but decomposition may be limited by saturated soil conditions common …

There is a growing body of empirical evidence documenting the expansion of shrub
vegetation in the circumpolar Arctic in response to climate change. Here, we conduct a …
