Recent findings indicate that the Arctic's traditional role as a planetary cooling agent is faltering, with hotspots and ...

After millennia as a carbon deep-freezer for the planet, regional hotspots and increasingly frequent wildfires in the ...

For millennia, the Arctic-boreal zone has acted as a critical carbon reservoir, locking away vast amounts of carbon dioxide ...

"The most climate-stressed regions all contained permafrost, which is vulnerable to thaw as temperatures rise," researcher Sue Natali said.

A third of the Arctic is now emitting climate-changing greenhouse gasses after thousands of years of storing them, according ...

Learn about hotspots in tundras and boreal forests that are releasing higher level of carbon dioxide, altering the carbon balance in the world's coldest regions.

The world is adept at balancing the warming gases in its atmosphere, but anthropogenic climate change is challenging this ...

Boreal ecology is the study of ecosystems in the subarctic (boreal) zone of the Northern hemisphere. These areas are dominated by coniferous forest, generally have permafrost soils, and occur ...

A synthesis of carbon flux and wildfire emissions data from across the Arctic-boreal zone between 2001-2020 found that 34 ...

Critical CO2 stores held in permafrost are being released as the landscape changes with global heating, a new report shows.
