"When fire emissions are factored in, the increasing Arctic–Boreal Zone sink is no longer statistically significant, and the permafrost region becomes CO2 neutral"

"Although the Arctic–Boreal Zone was overall an increasing terrestrial CO2 sink from 2001 to 2020, more than 30% of the region was a net CO2 source"

Although there are many different causes of browning events, there are also a number of commonalities among the impacts that they have.

Browning events are extreme climatic, biotic and physical disturbance events that can cause substantial loss of plant biomass and productivity, sometimes at scales of > 1000 km2, They are therefore key contributors to the spatial and temporal complexity of Arctic greening and vegetation dynamics.

Quote "reduction in snow cover duration surpasses elevated temperatures in influencing heat accumulation during the growing season. This accumulation is a key driver of the pronounced greening observed in late snow-melting sites"
