Earth warms, the Arctic will explode vegetation

In the next few decades, the lands surrounding the Arctic will be able to grow green trees due to global warming.

This is the research result from computer models of scientists, published in the Journal of Natural Climate Change, issued on March 31.

Research shows that when the temperature is warming, grasses, shrubs and other plants in the Arctic will grow, penetrating ice layers including permafrost.

By 2050, the area of ​​vegetation in the Arctic may increase by 52% when trees mature, and spread over hundreds of kilometers.

The Arctic has been strongly affected by global warming. Over the past 25 years, the temperature here has doubled compared to the rest of the world and according to scientists, the phenomenon of explosive vegetation will go beyond the Arctic region.

Expert Richard Pearson from the Center for Conservation and Biodiversity of the American Museum of Natural History said large-scale redistribution of Arctic vegetation will have certain impacts on the ecosystem. Global.
