Recovery from sudden permafrost collapse ranges from 10 years to a century, study suggests
Some Arctic regions regain their "greenness" within a decade of a sudden permafrost collapse, while others can take a century or more to recover, researchers report in a new study. The difference is directly related to each site's gross primary productivity, a measure of its photosynthetic capacity, the researchers discovered. This finding will allow scientists to accurately predict how long it will take a specific site to recover after a permaf…
When permafrost disappears at the North Pole, bare ground remains. But the strange thing is that some areas are green again within ten years, while recovery elsewhere takes more than a century. Researchers now know why this is. The difference is directly related to the so-called gross primary production of each region. This […] More science? Read the latest articles on Scientias.nl.
