In the tundra soil, the decomposition of organic materials is also very slow.

Other work also suggests that carbon as an energy source is more limiting to tundra soil microbes than nitrogen (e.g., Marion et al.

Absence of burrowing earthworms in tundra soils of Yakutia is caused mainly by close bedding of permafrost's rocks, overwetting and poor aeration of soils.

When building roads on tundra soils, for example, preserving environmental quality is a priority.

As Earth's climate warms, the methane, frozen in reservoirs stored in Arctic tundra soils or marine sediments, is vulnerable to being released into the atmosphere, where it can add to global warming.

Carbon in tundra soils, equal to one-third that in the atmosphere, could be released.

The model was parameterized using field measurements of the properties of tussock tundra soils and field and laboratory measurements of E.
