FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, May 7 (TNSJou) -- Northern Arizona University issued the following news:
New long-term data from a permafrost monitoring site in Healy, Alaska, suggest it was a net carbon source to the atmosphere at least since 2004 and, under current climate conditions as the region grows warmer, will continue to be one, potentially losing up to a fifth of all carbon stored in the active layer of soil by the end of the century.
