Proximate Climate Drivers of Beaver Pond Occupancy and Range Expansion in Arctic Alaska

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
To understand why beavers are colonizing the Arctic, we evaluated which climate drivers underpin beaver pond dynamics. Warm Junes, mild winters, green summers, and wet springs facilitate pond establishment. Rapid improvement in these conditions across recent decades provides mechanistic support that climate change is driving beaver colonization of the ...

Surface displacement revealed by L-band InSAR analysis in the Mayya area, Central Yakutia, underlain by continuous permafrost

Earth, Planets and Space, 2020
Recent increases in global temperature have stimulated permafrost degradation associated with landform deformation caused by the melting of excess ground ice (thermokarst).

Methane emissions from northern lakes under climate change: a review

SN Applied Sciences, 2021
Northern lakes are important sources of CH4 in the atmosphere under the background of permafrost thaw and winter warming. We synthesize studies on thermokarst lakes, including various carbon sources for CH4 emission and the influence of thermokarst ...

Woody Vegetation Dynamics Beyond the Treeline: Identifying Limiting Processes and Their Tipping Points

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Illustration of temporal trends in Arctic and alpine woody vegetation under changing growth conditions (summer temperature and winter snowpack). Upper panel: example of shrub expansion in southern France (photograph included). Greening is detected via increasing NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index).

Peatlands at Southernmost Permafrost Edge: Rapid Carbon Accumulation but High Vulnerability to Drying

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Little Ice Age cooling promoted peat initiation and permafrost development at the southern permafrost margin. Rapid carbon accumulation was sustained by permafrost‐suppressed decay and high photosynthetically active radiation, but recent warming‐driven drying is reducing carbon accumulation and increasing carbon‐loss risk.

Simulation and Prediction of Thermokarst Lake Surface Temperature Changes on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Remote Sensing
Thermokarst lakes are shallow bodies of freshwater that develop in permafrost regions, and they are an essential focus of international permafrost research.

Decadal-scale hotspot methane ebullition within lakes following abrupt permafrost thaw

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Thermokarst lakes accelerate deep permafrost thaw and the mobilization of previously frozen soil organic carbon. This leads to microbial decomposition and large releases of carbon dioxide (CO _2 ) and methane (CH _4 ) that enhance climate warming ...

Changes in the Distribution of Thermokarst Lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2015 to 2020

Remote Sensing
Thermokarst lakes are widely distributed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, owing to the lack of high-precision remote sensing imagery and the difficulty of in situ monitoring of permafrost regions, quantifying the changes in the distribution ...

Burn Severity as a Driver of Multi‐Year Increases in Gross Primary Production and Solar‐Induced Fluorescence Following a Wildfire in Arctic Tundra

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract While climate‐driven increases in wildfires are altering the composition and function of Arctic ecosystems, the impact of burn severity on longer‐term changes in community composition and ecosystem fluxes remains less understood, creating uncertainty in estimates of the biome's carbon storage capacity.
