How do trees keep permafrost frozen? Research by @smstuenzi.bsky.social shows forest cover cools the ground surface and can reduce active layer thickness by up to 60 percent compared to open ground. The forest canopy regulates ground temperature through complex, multi-directional processes.

Beneath the tundra and forests of the Arctic lies permafrost: ground frozen year-round. @smstuenzi.bsky.social's research focuses on how boreal forests and permafrost interact, and what happens when that relationship breaks down. Read all about it in this new StoryMap! arcg.is/18Wa810
