How does the tundra contribute to a reduction of carbon dioxide on earth? how is climate change affecting the tundra’s ability to reduce carbon dioxide? (site 1)

Respuesta :

This causes organic matter to decompose faster, releasing larger amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

As a result of climate change, tundra soils are thawing deeper and deeper and for a longer time in the upper layers of surface.

What is Tundra ?

The tundra is a biome on the Earth that covers approximately 20% of its land mass, and it is almost exclusively located in the Northern Hemisphere.

  • It is an environment that helps in the regulation of the CO2 in the atmosphere, and it is one of the biggest natural CO2 sinks. The living organisms in the tundra, are using the CO2 for their needs, thus removing parts of it from the atmosphere
  • when they are no more, because the tundra is cold, and the decomposition is very slow, most of the CO2 remains trapped, and doesn't go into the atmosphere.
