Fire, drought, and thawing permafrost drive Arctic browning - impacting carbon storage and wildlife

New research shows increasingly thawing permafrost soils not only pose a global threat due to the CO2 and methane gas stored in them, but also have far-reaching implications for the approximately three million Arctic residents who live on permafrost soils.
