What is Biogeochemical Cycles (Ecological Drivers and Environmental Impact) about?

Northern high latitudes are experiencing rapid changes in climate that drive permafrost thaw and shifts in hydrology and soil saturation. These factors regulate redox conditions across permafrost-affected landscapes, potentially altering carbon storage in soils and exacerbating climate change through accelerated decomposition of soil organic matter. Redox conditions impact soil carbon storage directly by influencing rates and pathways of organic matter decomposition, and indirectly by moderating the bioavailability of organic molecules and nutrients. Indeed, the ability of increased plant growth to offset C losses in permafrost regions will be regulated by nutrient availability (e.g., N, P) that varies across redox gradients. The purpose of this review is to examine how redox conditions shape biogeochemical cycling of ecologically important elements (P, N, S, Fe) in permafrost-affected ecosystems. Although carbon cycling in these regions continues to be widely studied, relatively little information is available on the elements that regulate C cycling. We discuss the complex feedbacks between climate change, hydrology, and landscape change that control redox conditions, then examine
