Cryosols are a type of soil found in cold regions, particularly in areas with permafrost, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. These soils are characterized by their frozen state, which affects their physical and chemical properties. Cryosols typically contain a mix of organic matter and minerals, and they can be rich in nutrients, making them important for local ecosystems. The formation of Cryosols is influenced by the climate, vegetation, and topography of the region. As temperatures rise due to climate change, the thawing of permafrost can lead to changes in Cryosol properties, impacting ecosystems and carbon storage in these sensitive areas.
