The Arctic is rapidly changing from the climate crisis, with no "new normal," scientists warn. Wildfires and permafrost thaw are making the tundra emit more carbon than it absorbs. From beaver ...
Living and nonliving factors that influence the types of vegetation that grow at different elevations in the Arctic tundra also regulate the types of bacteria that grow in the soil. The distribution ...
Two bull caribou of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd swimming across the Kobuk River during fall 2011 migration in Kobuk Valley National Park. The herd has been in decline since hitting its peak ...
Living and nonliving factors that influence the types of vegetation that grow at different elevations in the Arctic tundra also regulate the types of bacteria that grow in the soil. The distribution ...
A federal judge ruled that regulators reasonably concluded a combination of snow cover, frozen soil and operational limits ...
The unique vegetation of the Arctic tundra could disappear by the year 2050 if no substantial reduction in global warming is achieved, scientists have warned. Experts at the Alfred Wegener Institute's ...
An international team of research scientists, University of Copenhagen researchers among them, has documented the central role of vegetation for Arctic warming for the first time. The new results ...
On this side of the Atlantic, people mostly associate reindeer with Christmas and Santa’s sleigh. However, people who live in ...
Global warming is changing the Arctic by causing permafrost thaw, glacier melt, droughts, fires and changes in vegetation. These developments are strongly linked to the energy exchange between land ...
Aims For informed predictions on the sensitivity of Arctic tundra landscape to permafrost thaw, we aimed to investigate the distribution pattern of near-surface ground ice and its influencing factors ...
Far fewer have investigated the influence of vegetation on Arctic climates. Using new analyses of data measured at 64 Arctic sites from 1994-2021, an international research team has become the first ...
