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

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

An international team led by Woodwell Climate Research Center found that a third (34%) of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ)—the treeless tundra, boreal forests, and wetlands that make up Earth's ...

NASA warns that the Arctic-Boreal Zone is now a carbon emitter, not a sink. Melting permafrost and wildfires are accelerating ...

T he Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ), once a reliable carbon reservoir, is now releasing more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than it absorbs. A new study led by the Woodwell Climate Research Center reveals that ...

Large swathes of one of Earth's largest carbon sinks are now emitting rather than capturing CO 2. More than a third of the Arctic-Boreal Zone (ABZ) – including the tundra, forests, and wetlands around ...

Researchers in a new study published in Nature Climate Change, have measured the flow of carbon in the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ) — consisting of the treeless tundra, boreal forests, and wetlands in ...

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 ...

An international team led by Woodwell Climate Research Center found that a third (34 percent) of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ)—the treeless tundra, boreal forests, and wetlands that make up Earth ...

The Arctic-boreal zone, historically a carbon sink, is now a carbon source, with 34% of the region emitting more CO 2 than it absorbs, increasing to 40% when fire emissions are included.
