Protection of Permafrost Soils from Thawing by Increasing Herbivore Density
Abstract Climate change will cause a substantial future greenhouse gas release from warming and thawing permafrost-affected soils to the atmosphere enabling a positive feedback mechanism. Increasing the population density of big herbivores in northern high-latitude ecosystems will increase snow dens...
