New research indicates that the computer-based models currently used to simulate how Earth’s climate will change in the future underestimate the impact that forest fires and drying climate are having on the world’s northernmost forests, which make up the largest forest biome on the planet. It’s an important understanding because these northern forests absorb a significant amount of Earth’s carbon dioxide.
