Permafrost sub-grid heterogeneity of soil properties key for 3-D soil processes and future climate projections

There are massive carbon stocks stored in permafrost-affected soils due to the 3-D soil movement process called cryoturbation. For a reliable projection of the past, recent and future Arctic carbon balance, and hence climate, a reliable concept for representing cryoturbation in a land surface model...
