Contribution of permafrost soils to the global carbon budget (2013, methodology): “Only Koven et al (2011) and Schaefer et al (2011) were able to consider vegetation feedback.”
Climate change and the permafrost carbon feedback (2014, neutral): “Recentkeyimprove-ments include the physical representation of permafrost soil thermody-namicsandtheroleofenvironmentalcontrols,inparticularthesoilfreeze/ thawstate,ondecompositionoforganiccarbon 43–45 .”
Biomass offsets little or none of permafrost carbon release from soils, streams, and wildfire: an expert assessment (2016, background): “Model projections of future boreal and Arctic biomass agree in sign but vary widely in magnitude, with increases of 9–61 Pg carbon projected by 2100 (Qian et al 2010, Koven et al 2011, Schaefer et al 2011, Falloon et al 2012).”
Permafrost thaw and resulting soil moisture changes regulate projected high-latitude CO2 and CH4 emissions (2015, background): “…or was effectively inert due to saturated soil conditions is decomposed and released to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) (Koven et al 2011, Schaefer et al 2011, Burke et al 2012, Schneider von Deimling et al 2012, Koven et al 2015), thereby amplifying climate change.”
