The study considered only soil carbon losses in response to warming.
The dawdling global response to warming temperatures means runaway climate change now looms.
The researchers were actually looking for bacteria, to understand how microbial communities are changing in response to warming temperatures.
The initial state and thermal properties of permafrost also have important influences on its response to warming air temperatures92.

And, he said, some studies have shown some birds to be getting smaller in response to warming.
One overarching question: whether Himalayan glaciers will melt uniformly in response to warming, or if some regions might actually see more ice.
But scientists believe that some of it could be released in response to warming and become a positive feedback to global climate change.
Scientists are also looking at how protected migration corridors can be created between parks and other federal land as species move in response to warming.
