• Reorganization of vegetation, hydrology and soil carbon after permafrost degradation across heterogeneous boreal landscapes (2013, background): “The lack of water impoundment on the sloping surface reduces the positive feedback of warming associated with the heat gain in shallow water bodies (Jorgenson et al 2010) and facilitates permafrost resilience.”
• The role of mosses in ecosystem succession and function in Alaska's boreal forest. (2010, background): “…composition and ecosystem parameters such as aboveground tree productivity and soil C storage (Hollingsworth et al 2008) and have suggested that moss abundance plays a critical role in post-fire successional trajectories (Johnstone et al. 2010) and perrna- frost stability (Jorgenson et al. 2010).”
• Statistical Forecasting of Current and Future Circum‐Arctic Ground Temperatures and Active Layer Thickness (2018, background): “Predictors that could locally improve the forecasts, but were not considered here, are vegetation (Nelson et al., 1997; Shur & Jorgenson, 2007) and anthropogenic land use, which can alter the energy exchange between ground and atmosphere (Jorgenson et al., 2010).”
• Permafrost response to increasing Arctic shrub abundance depends on the relative influence of shrubs on local soil cooling versus large-scale climate warming (2011, background): “Vegetation succession, for example, can provide a strong negative feedback that increases permafrost resiliency against climate change (Jorgenson et al 2010).”
• Resilience of Alaska's Boreal Forest to Climatic Change (2010, background): “In contrast to the continuous permafrost zone of the Arctic, changes in discontinuous permafrost of the boreal forest are driven primarily by changes in ecosystems rather than by climatic change (Jorgenson et al. 2010).”
