Short summary
Boreal forests store large amounts of carbon, yet it is unclear how thawing permafrost will affect their role in slowing climate change. Many models do not fully capture how frozen soils warm and alter water supply for plants. We improved a vegetation model to better represent soil processes and tested it in Northeast China. The updated model more accurately reproduced soil conditions and carbon storage, showing that thaw-related warming and drying can reduce carbon uptake and alter forests.
