What would happen if a tundra melted?

If a tundra melted, it would lead to the release of trapped greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide, which could contribute to further global warming. This could also lead to changes in the ecosystem, such as loss of habitat for tundra species and an increase in vegetation growth. Additionally, melting tundra could cause the land to become unstable, leading to erosion and potential disruptions in infrastructure.
