Behold the tundra biome. Characterized by extremely cold temperatures and treeless, frozen landscapes, the species here are marvels at adapting to the harsh climate.

It discusses various biomes such as the Arctic tundra, coniferous forest, deciduous forest, tropical rainforest, grasslands, and deserts, detailing their characteristics, flora, and fauna.

However, the boreal biome, which consists of coniferous forests such as pine and spruce trees and lies to the south of the tundra, is a net source of planet-warming methane, the report found. Sea ...

Maes’ team included about 70 scientists performing measurements in 28 tundra regions across the planet’s Arctic and alpine zones. During the summer growing season, the researchers placed clear ...

The Arctic is rapidly changing from the climate crisis, with no "new normal," scientists warn.. Wildfires and permafrost thaw are making the tundra emit more carbon than it absorbs. From beaver ...

The Arctic tundra has historically helped reduce global emissions. But rising temperatures and wildfires in the region are changing that, scientists say. Arctic tundra becoming a source of carbon ...

The Arctic tundra is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it absorbs, according to the latest Arctic Report Card released by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The Arctic Boreal Zone (ABZ) is a particularly important one: for many centuries now, its tundra, coniferous forests, and wetlands around the Arctic Circle have absorbed carbon and sequestered it ...

But warming air temperatures in the Arctic are breaking down permafrost across the tundra, in some cases, severely. The Arctic report, for example, showed Alaskan permafrost temperatures in 2024 ...
