TASS/. Scientists at the Siberian Federal University proved bioplastics may be used in sub-Arctic latitudes without harming the environment, as soil bacteria can decompose bioplastics membranes.

as more fungi mean more carbon sequestration in the soil, while bacteria generally leads to more carbon emissions. "In high Arctic ecosystems, the variety of fungi is particularly high compared to ...

Thawing permafrost, or permanently frozen land, has widely been seen as a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions as massive stores of Arctic soil carbon are released to the atmosphere as carbon ...

YEKATERINBURG, November 21. /TASS/. Russian researchers have discovered that some bacteria from ancient Arctic permafrost can survive even up to 20 million years in an inactive state under ...

which releases large amounts of methane — a heat-trapping gas more potent than carbon dioxide — as bacteria in the soil digest thawing plant matter. Meanwhile, rising Arctic temperatures are ...

The Arctic report, for example, showed Alaskan permafrost temperatures in 2024 were the second-warmest ever recorded. That causes the soil to heat up and thaw, its carbon repositories decompose ...

Researchers are linking human activity to increased gene transfer from soil bacteria to humans. Soil plays a much bigger role in the spread of antibiotic resistance than one might imagine.
