Abstract

This paper introduces a special issue of Arctic and Alpine Research on the topic of arctic soils and permafrost, presented as a memorial to the life-long work of Dr. Kaye Everett. Major themes of the volume, which includes 15 contributions, include spatiotemporal dynamics of permafrost and the active layer, soil genesis and classification, hydrology, soil and vegetation succession, and elemental movement and nutrient cycling. Suggested major future directions are that a regional view of arctic and boreal systems is required and that a circumpolar synthesis and mapping effort for arctic soils is needed for arctic systems research.
