Response of boreal ecosystems to varying modes of permafrost degradation. Jorgenson, M. T. & Osterkamp, T. E.

Paper doi abstract bibtex Permafrost degradation associated with a warming climate is second only to wildfires as a major disturbance to boreal forests. Permafrost temperatures have risen to 4 degrees C since the "Little Ice Age", resulting in widespread thawing of permafrost. The mode of permafrost degradation is highly variable, and its topographic and ecological consequences depend on the interaction of slope position, soil texture, hydrology, and ice content. We partitioned this variability into 16 primary modes: (1) thermokarst lakes from lateral thermomechanical erosion; (2) thermokarst basins after lake drainage; (3) thaw sinks from subsurface drainage of lakes; (4) glacial thermokarst of ice-cored moraines; (5) linear collapse-scar fens associated with shallow groundwater movement; (6) round isolated collapse-scar bogs from slow lateral degradation; (7) small round isolated thermokarst pits from surface thawing; (8) polygonal thermokarst mounds from advanced ice-wedge degradation; (9) mixed thermokarst pits and polygons from initial ice-wedge degradation; (10) irregular thermokarst mounds from thawing of ice-poor silty soils; (11) sinkholes and pipes resulting from groundwater flow; (12) thermokarst gullies and water tracks from surface-water flow; (13) thaw slumps related to slope failure and thawing; (14) thermo-erosional niches from water undercutting of ice-rich shores; (15) collapsed pingos from thawing of massive ice in pingos; and (16) nonpatterned ground from thawing of ice-poor soils. These modes greatly influence how thermokarst changes or disrupts the ground surface, ecosystems, human activities, infrastructure, and the fluxes of energy, moisture, and gases across the land-air interface.
