thawing permafrost threatens to release biological, chemical and radioactive materials that …

As global temperatures rise, large amounts of carbon sequestered in permafrost are
becoming available for microbial degradation. Accurate prediction of carbon gas emissions …

Permafrost, characterized by its frozen soil, serves as a unique habitat for diverse
microorganisms. Understanding these microbial communities is crucial for predicting the …

Ability to directly sequence DNA from the environment permanently changed microbial
ecology. Here, we review the new insights to microbial life gleaned from the applications of …

The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the
microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter …

Soil carbon feedbacks to global change are uncertain, and the biological processes that
govern soil organic matter decomposition are not resolved in current ecosystem models …

The signs of climate change are undeniable, and the inevitable impact for Earth and all its
inhabitants is a serious concern. Ice is melting, sea levels are rising, biodiversity is declining …
