Scientists link rapid climate change and microbes to 'zombie fires' in cold regions.
In a recent study, scientists from University College Cork have identified potential causes behind the emergence of zombie fires in regions such as Canada, Alaska, and Siberia.
This is significant because the model also takes into account the heat generated by certain microbes as they break down soil, releasing carbon. This approach yielded two notable findings, as reported by the researchers. The second result showed that sudden transitions from the regular cold state to the hot metastable state can be triggered only by realistic climate patterns. That includes summer heatwaves and global warming scenarios.
