Reindeer and Carbon: Finland’s Forest Carbon Stabilizers
Reindeer and the carbon cycle in Finland’s north Not all climate heroes wear capes. Some sport antlers. A recent study published in Science of the Total Environment shows that reindeer grazing in Finland’s northern forests may help stabilise the carbon stored in soil and understory vegetation. By grazing through snow-covered undergrowth, these arctic herbivores influence…
