   Author : Pia Eriksson; [2012]
   Keywords : permafrost; global warming; carbon cycling; GIS;

   Abstract : This study investigates how the estimated thickening of the active layer will affectthe soil organic carbon in permafrost soils. The focus lies on estimating how muchof the upper permafrost soil organic carbon will be affected by the active layerdeepening due to global warming, on what timescale the deepening will take placeand if the estimated changes differ depending on the extent of permafrost in theregion.
