Wildfires are defrosting the tundra

This short article was initially included on High Country News Portions of carbon-rich frozen soil, or permafrost, support much of the Arctic tundra. This constantly frozen layer sequesters carbon from the environment, often saving it for 10s of countless years underneath the boggy ground. The frozen soil is insulated by a cool damp blanket of plant litter, moss and peat. If that blanket is incinerated by a tundra wildfire, the permafrost ends up being susceptible to thawing.

Research study released last month in Environ...
