Methane and carbon dioxide emissions from thermokarst lakes on mineral soils

Thermokarst lakes are known to emit methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), but little attention has been given to those formed from the thawing and collapse of lithalsas, ice-rich mineral soil mounds that occur in permafrost landscapes. The present study was undertaken to assess greenhouse gas stoc...
