They discovered that the abrupt thawing of permafrost increased the release of ancient carbon stored in the soil by “125 to 190 percent compared to gradual thawing alone.” She warned that “by the middle to end of the century, the permafrost-carbon feedback should bePianeta Terra: la nostra amorevole dimora2022-02-11 1304 Visualizzazioni15396p720p720pHQ1080p2022-02-11Pianeta Terra: la nostra amorevole dimora Thawing of the Permafrost: Countdown to a Climate Catastrophe, Part 1 of 213:21Thawing of the Permafrost: Countdown to a Climate Catastrophe, Part 1 of 2Permafrost covers are widespread in the Arctic regions of Siberia, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. They play a vital role in stabilizing the planet’s climate by functioning as a cover that seals in gas hydrates, which are crystalline solids containing huge amounts of carbon-based elements.

The trees’ root systems, called mycorrhizal networks, act as neural networks that transmit messages. The fine, hair-like root tips of trees connect together with microscopic fungal filaments to form the basic links of the network.
