Title: Permafrost Loss and A New Approach to The Study of Subarctic Ecosystems in Transition
Abstract:This study uses remote sensing to demonstrate the rate and spatial pattern of land-cover change resulting from permafrost loss in a subarctic region that typifies the southern boundary of permafrost. ...This study uses remote sensing to demonstrate the rate and spatial pattern of land-cover change resulting from permafrost loss in a subarctic region that typifies the southern boundary of permafrost. Permafrost occupied 0.70 km2 of a 1.0 km2 area in 1947, but by 2008 occupied only 0.43 km2. This study also explains the need for an Earth Systems approach to properly examine the integrated mechanisms, interactions and feedbacks among physical, chemical and biological components of warming subarctic ecosystems.Read More
