AI Summary
An international study led by the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Geography and the Institute for Climate and Carbon Neutrality examined vegetation resilience in Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions. The research, published in Nature Plants, found that resilience declined broadly around 2008, even as vegetation greening continued. The authors attribute the reversal to atmospheric drying and climate extremes that are increasing vulnerabilities in high‑latitude ecosystems.
