    Abstract

    Boreal forests occupy latitudes that are expected to warm most dramatically over the coming decades, and evidence indicates that changes are already underway in these systems. Much of the boreal is underlain by permafrost, which can be expected to have important consequences for boreal forests as the climate warms. The southern margin of permafrost is especially susceptible to warming, since in this region, the permafrost is discontinuous, relatively thin (
