Article Synopsis
- The study models changes in permafrost and carbon storage projections from 2010 to 2299 based on climate scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5.
- Significant permafrost loss is forecasted, with estimates ranging from 3-5 million km² for RCP4.5 and 6-16 million km² for RCP8.5.
- Cumulative soil carbon changes show potential losses of up to 652 Pg C under RCP8.5, while effective climate mitigation in the 21st century may reduce negative impacts from the permafrost carbon-climate feedback.
