Скачать или смотреть Increased vegetation in the Arctic region could counteract global warming

Climate change creates more shrub vegetation in barren, arctic ecosystems. A study at Lund University in Sweden together with the University of Copenhagen shows that organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are triggered to break down particularly nutritious dead parts of shrubbery. Meanwhile, the total amount of decomposition is reducing. This could have an inhibiting effect on global warming. Learn more: http://ow.ly/ytZt300h6Is
