Iceland: a natural laboratory for the study of climate change’s effects on soil

Iceland’s grasslands and living organisms react strongly to warming in an initial period of five to eight years, the ecosystem will have returned to a steady state closer to its original state when more than 50 years have elapsed.
This is what shows a recent research published in Nature Ecology & EvolutionThis finding will help scientists work out how climate change is set to affect the planet’s different ecosystems.

The world has become greener over the past 33 years

Since 1982, Earth has become greener in an area covering 36 million km2, close to two times the size of the United States. Above all, this seems to be the result of a fertilizing effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on plants. The study was carried out with satellite images which can capture this increase in terrestrial leaf area.
