Post-thaw variability in litter decomposition best explained by microtopography at an ice-rich permafrost peatland
Litter decomposition, a key process by which recently fixed carbon is lost from ecosystems, is a function of environmental conditions and plant community characteristics. In ice-rich peatlands, permafrost thaw introduces high variability in both abiotic and biotic factors, both of which may affect l...
