The Impact of Freeze-Thaw Cycles to the Physical and Biogeochemical Properties of Alaskan Permafrost Soils

Creator:

Rooney, Erin C.

Abstract:

Arctic warming is exposing thawing permafrost to repeated freeze-thaw, a disruptive process that can alter soil biogeochemistry and physical structure. To investigate the impact of permafrost exposure to freeze-thaw, soil response was tested across three scales: 2.5 cm³ aggregates, a forested hillslope, and two sites at contrasting latitudes.
