Climate warming has led to more frequent soil freeze–thaw (FT) events in high-latitude and high-altitude regions, leading significant pulse releases of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) such as nitrous oxide (N2O) carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. These emissions exhibit unpredictable spatiotemporal variability, which are influenced by type, moisture FT temperature. This study employed controlled laboratory experiments investigate effects varying intensities (−10 °C/10 °C, −5 °C/5 a control at 0 °C/0 °C) levels (30%, 60%, 90% water-filled pore space, WFPS) on dynamics N2O CO2 (measured daily), availability nitrogen, microbial biomass, enzyme activities weekly) soils collected from two forest stands Changbai mountains northeast China, broadleaf Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Sieb. et Zucc.) mixed (BKPF) an adjacent secondary white birch (Betula platyphylla Suk.)

Notably, particularly intense under (i.e., soils, persisting for nearly 8 days during cycles. The conditions intricately regulated substrate dynamics, including dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen mineralization, nitrate concentrations. results improve understanding variability GHG process its underlying mechanisms, inadequately considered current ecological land surface models. Consequently, it would contribute valuable insights interaction between climate change zones.
