The Arctic is Getting Greener, but the Change is Lower than Expected

The Arctic is Getting Greener, but the Change is Lower than Expected Written by AZoCleantechApr 30 2021 There was a hope that as more plants start to grow in Arctic and boreal latitudes as our warming climate makes those regions more hospitable for plants, those photosynthesizing plants would work to help sequester the atmospheric carbon dioxide that helped them flourish in the first place. But new research led by scientists at UC Irvine and Boston University, out in Nature Climate Change, sug...

The Arctic is greening, but not enough to help climate change, study finds

Fires Are Keeping Arctic Forest Growth from Offsetting CO2 Release
