Short summary
Permafrost is at increased risk of thaw due to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances. As permafrost thaws, the microbiomes within these systems may become more active and change in composition, releasing greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4. In this study, we determined that permafrost thaw caused by road construction caused permafrost microbiomes to become more similar to surface soils, which has implications for greenhouse gas modelling.
