Learn about hotspots in tundras and boreal forests that are releasing higher level of carbon dioxide, altering the carbon balance in the world's coldest regions.

The study suggests one of the main drivers of the shift could be thawing permafrost, frozen ground that covers almost half of Canada’s land mass and in some areas has remained below zero C for hundred ...
