Nitrogen Release From Permafrost Thaw May Partially Offset Future Soil Carbon Losses
fertilisation and increased nitrogen availability following thaw. However, the future vegetation carbon uptake due to increased nitrogen availability has only been quantified in a few studies and may be overestimated by our model. Therefore, its strength remains highly uncertain and care must be taken not to underestimate the permafrost carbon-climate feedback when designing climate change mitigation strategies.
