      Turbic Cryosols (permafrost soils characterized by cryoturbation, i.e., by mixing of soil layers due to freezing and thawing) are widespread across the Arctic, and contain large amounts of poorly decomposed organic material ...
    • Site- and horizon-specific patterns of microbial community structure and enzyme activities in permafrost-affected soils of Greenland 

      Gittel, Antje; Barta, Jiri; Kohoutova, Iva; Schnecker, Jörg; Wild, Birgit; Čapek, Petr; Kaiser, Christina; Torsvik, Vigdis Lid; Richter, Andreas; Schleper, Christa Maria; Urich, Tim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-16)
      Permafrost-affected soils in the Northern latitudes store huge amounts of organic carbon (OC) that is prone to microbial degradation and subsequent release of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. In Greenland, the consequences ...
