Provides an introduction to Earth's biomes, explaining how they are communities of living organisms shaped by climate and geography. Key factors influencing biomes include light and water ...

Increasing wildfires globally release massive carbon emissions, impacting natural carbon sinks and contributing to global warming.

A focus of the latest Arctic evaluation was the effects of warmer weather and wildfires on the tundra, a far-northern biome that's typically known for extreme cold, little precipitation and a ...

The frigid Arctic tundra has soaked up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for millennia, an essential balancer for our planet’s climate. Now, it appears to be emitting more heat-trapping gasses ...

As Earth’s global temperatures rise, scientists believe peatlands will extend further north, into the Arctic biome. Peatland initiation occurs over millennia but is an important process to understand ...

The study found the overall ability to monitor the status and trajectory of the Arctic biome may be severely limited over the foreseeable future. Professor Callaghan said: “INTERACT has now quantified ...
