Metagenomic Analysis of Thawing Permafrost Highlights Links Between Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling Processes in Abrupt Thaw Simulation

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Abrupt permafrost thaw events are projected to contribute up to 40% of permafrost carbon (C) release to the atmosphere. They involve sudden hydrological shifts within the soil column; however, the exact microbial functional pathway shifts induced by these events remain cryptic. To investigate how C and nutrient cycling processes differ in thaw
