Scientists will learn how fires change world ecosystems
Artyom Lim and Daria Kuzmina, two young TSU scientists who are staff members of the Bio-Geo-Clim laboratory, worked for two months at one of the leading scientific centers in France - the Midi-Pyrenees Observatory. In the interdisciplinary laboratory GET (Geosciences Environnement Toulouse), young researchers analyzed water samples from Siberian rivers and samples of marsh and north-taiga vegetation from the Arctic zone of Russia. The results will help in understanding the processes of the transport of carbon, one of the main components of greenhouse gases.
In the last decade, catastrophic fires have occurred more and more often. Climate warming is one of the reasons for the increase in the number of fires. Tragic examples are the events in Australia in 2019-2020, and in Russia’s Far East and Siberia in recent years, plus in the European part in 2012.
