For millennia, the Arctic-boreal zone has acted as a critical carbon reservoir, locking away vast amounts of carbon dioxide ...

Animation of terrestrial CO 2 fluxes in the Arctic-boreal zone by month ... to account for fire's growing carbon footprint in this region," said Dr. Anna Virkkala, a research scientist at the ...

The Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ), once a reliable carbon reservoir, is now releasing more carbon dioxide (CO₂) than it absorbs. A ...

University of Alberta research offers new guidance that can help recover habitat for woodland caribou in forests across the ...

Research is revealing how climate change is driving the Arctic-boreal zone's shift from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

"The most climate-stressed regions all contained permafrost, which is vulnerable to thaw as temperatures rise," researcher Sue Natali said.

regional hotspots and increasingly frequent wildfires in the northern latitudes have nearly canceled out that critical storage capacity in the permafrost region, according to a new study published in ...

An international team led by Woodwell Climate Research Center found that a third (34 percent) of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ ... carbon footprint in this region,” said Dr.

In northern regions, where forests are densifying, reduced albedo may exacerbate warming, potentially offsetting the benefits of increased carbon storage. Taken together, the boreal forest’s ...
