Summary
Climate change and thawing permafrost in the Arctic will significantly alter landscape hydro-geomorphology and the distribution of soil moisture, which will have cascading effects on climate feedbacks (CO and CH ) and plant and microbial communities. Fundamental processes critical to predicting active layer hydrology are not well understood.
