Mapping Drained Lake Basins in Arctic Lowland Permafrost Regions
Lakes and drained lake basins (DLBs) cover 20% to 75% of permafrost lowland regions of the pan-Arctic. Lakes and DLBs of different ages create a heterogeneous and dynamic mosaic of terrain units, provide unique habitats, and substantially impact biogeochemical cycling. The formation of DLBs leads to successional dynami...
