Sunlight stimulates release of climate-warming gas from melting arctic permafrost
2013-02-11 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ancient carbon trapped in Arctic permafrost is extremely sensitive to sunlight and, if exposed to the surface when long-frozen soils melt and collapse, can release climate-warming carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere much faster than previously thought. University of Michigan ecologist and aquatic biogeochemist George Kling and his colleagues studied places in Arctic Alaska where permafrost is melting and is causing the overlying land surface to collapse, forming erosional holes and landslides...
