Responses of benthic invertebrate communities to shoreline retrogressive thaw slumps in Arctic upland lakes

Abstract Permafrost disturbance (shoreline retrogressive thaw slumping [SRTS]) causes solute-rich terrestrial inputs to Arctic tundra lakes. Eight upland tundra lakes (3 undisturbed [U], 5 disturbed [D]) in the Inuvik region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, were sampled to assess the effects of...
