Influences and interactions of inundation, peat, and snow on active layer thickness

Influences and interactions of inundation, peat, and snow on active layer thickness

Abstract Active layer thickness (ALT), the uppermost layer of soil that thaws on an annual basis, is a direct control on the amount of organic carbon potentially available for decomposition and release to the atmosphere as carbon‐rich Arctic permafrost soils thaw in a warming climate. We investigate...
