متن کاملResilience and vulnerability of permafrost to climate change1
The resilience and vulnerability of permafrost to climate change depends on complex interactions among topography, water, soil, vegetation, and snow, which allow permafrost to persist at mean annual air temperatures (MAATs) as high as +2 8C and degrade at MAATs as low as –20 8C. To assess these interactions, we compiled existing data and tested effects of varying conditions on mean annual surfa...
