发酵的北极冰和永久冻土正在加速微生物,释放温室气体和汞,使气候变化恶化。 Thawing Arctic ice and permafrost are speeding up microbes, releasing greenhouse gases and mercury, worsening climate change.

根据麦吉尔大学的一项审查,极地冰和永久冻土正在加速北极和高山地区的微生物活动,释放出温室气体和汞等污染物。 Thawing polar ice and permafrost are accelerating microbial activity in Arctic and alpine regions, releasing greenhouse gases and contaminants like mercury, according to a McGill University review. 气温上升刺激了微生物新陈代谢,加速了碳循环和气候变化的恶化,过去30年来,北极各地极端天气事件不断增加。 Rising temperatures boost microbial metabolism, speeding carbon cycling and worsening climate change, with extreme weather events increasing across the Arctic over the past 30 years. 这些转变扰乱了生态系统,威胁到驯鹿等物种,并助长了北极褐色化和碳不平衡。 These shifts disrupt ecosystems, threaten species like reindeer, and contribute to Arctic browning and carbon imbalance. 尽管极地区域具有全球重要性,但由于数据、资金和可获取性有限,它们面临着研究差距。 Despite their global importance, polar regions face research gaps due to limited data, funding, and accessibility. 科学家促请扩大监测和国际合作,以改进气候预测。 Scientists urge expanded monitoring and international cooperation to improve climate projections.
