UM study finds plant growth offsets carbon release of thawing permafrost
This image illustrates contrasting patterns of ecosystem annual net CO2 uptake between early (1980-2000) and later (2001-2017) periods in the study record.
MISSOULA – Permafrost is a layer of soil in polar and forested boreal regions that remains frozen all year. A new study from the University of Montana challenges the notion that high-latitude permafrost regions are becoming a net source of carbon dioxide that greatly contributes to climate warming....
