Warming Effects of Spring Rainfall Increase Methane Emissions From Thawing Permafrost

Abstract Methane emissions regulate the near‐term global warming potential of permafrost thaw, particularly where loss of ice‐rich permafrost converts forest and tundra into wetlands. Northern latitudes are expected to get warmer and wetter, and while there is consensus that warming will increase th...
