Deskripsi
Permafrost stores large quantities of carbon (C), but uncertainty surrounds decomposability differences between active and permafrost layers. Here, Chen et al. use incubation experiments and a 3-pool model to find permafrost layers are equally or more labile, contributing to C vulnerability in Tibetan permafrost.
