Comparative analysis of soil thermal conductivity in the permafrost regions of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau and the Arctic by Wenhao Liu, Ren Li, Tonghua Wu, Guojie Hu, Xiaodong Wu, Shenning Wang, Junjie Ma, Jianzong Shi, Shengfeng Tang, Xiaofan Zhu, Yongping Qiao

“…The mean STC values in the QTP permafrost region during the thawing period are significantly higher than those during the freezing period. (2) STC of the QTP exhibits a fluctuating pattern at different depths, in contrast, the average STC value in the Arctic increases steadily with depth, with an increase rate of approximately 0.005 Wm−1 K−1/cm. (3) The analysis of influencing factors revealed that although moisture content, bulk density, and porosity are the primary drivers of regional variations in STC between the QTP and the Arctic permafrost, moisture elements in the QTP region have a greater influence on STC and the effect is stronger with increasing depth and during the freeze–thaw cycles. …”
