Permafrost: The Frozen Superpower of the Arctic Tundra

Science Kids Arctic Tundra Biome V1-0002 The Arctic tundra is a unique and vital ecosystem characterized by its frozen permafrost and extreme conditions. This biome is home to a diverse array of resilient plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in this harsh environment. However, the melting of permafrost due to global warming poses a significant threat as it releases trapped carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. It is crucial to protect and preserve the Arctic tundra to maintain the delicate balance of our planet's climate and biodiversity.
