- Global wetland contribution to 2000–2012 atmospheric methane growth rate dynamics (2017, background): “…at global and regional scales were moderately correlated with air temperature (masked for wetland grid cells), r 𝑡 −0 = 0.24 globally, and r 𝑡 −0 = 0.33 for boreal regions, suggesting surface-flooding increased following seasonal permafrost thaw under warmer temperatures (Schuur et al 2015).”
- The Community Land Model Version 5: Description of New Features, Benchmarking, and Impact of Forcing Uncertainty (2019, background): “Permafrost is a key feature of the earth system, and uncertainty regarding the strength of the permafrost climate‐carbon feedback is considerable (McGuire et al., 2018; Schuur et al., 2015).”
- Large stocks of peatland carbon and nitrogen are vulnerable to permafrost thaw (2020, neutral): “However, it remains unclear to what degree this increased peat growth may be offset by climate-driven increases in peatland disturbances, including higher fire frequency (8), drought (9), and thawing of permafrost (10).”
- Key indicators of Arctic climate change: 1971–2017 (2019, background): “Throughmodeling, Schuur et al (2015) suggest that Arctic climate warming will cause an increasingly large net upward flux of terrestrial carbon to the atmosphere viamicrobial release of carbon from decomposition of accumulated surface biomass.”
- Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points (2022, neutral): “The Yedoma deep ice-and carbon-rich permafrost (containing ~115 GtC in Yedoma deposits, ~400 GtC across the Yedoma domain) is particularly vulnerable as fast thaw processes can expose previously isolated deep deposits ( 54 , 59 ).”
- Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “Yet the real-world rate of permafrost carbon release is limited by the annual freeze–thaw cycle, by the rate of thermal diffusion into the deep permafrost, by the creation of new biomass, and by oxygen availability in water-logged soils [Schuur et al., 2015].”
- The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls (2017, background): “…soil carbon pool to a depth of 3 m is estimated as 2,800 Pg C. Deeper (>3 m) deposits include an additional ∼300– 500 Pg OC in the permafrost region (Schuur et al. 2015), ∼30–50 Pg C in tropical peatlands, and an unknown quantity of OC in other environments with deep sediments such as deltas,…”
- Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, background): “In addition, the snowpack controls the temperature of the soil and then the possible carbon emissions due to the permafrost thawing (e.g., Schuur et al., 2015).”
