Substrate potential of last interglacial to Holocene permafrost organic matter for future microbial greenhouse gas production

In this study the organic matter (OM) in several permafrost cores from Bol'shoy Lyakhovsky Island in NE Siberia was investigated. In the context of the observed global warming the aim was to evaluate the potential of freeze-locked OM from different depositional ages to act as a substrate pr...
