The breath of the permafrost: Arctic methane and its microbes
Activities proposed
How do researchers measure the exchange of methane between soil and atmosphere in the Arctic? Measurements from the Ny-Ålesund tower (Svalbard) show this tundra absorbs more methane than it releases, thanks to soil methanotrophic microbes. A journey through climate science and invisible biology.
