Deforestation is the large-scale removal of trees and forests, often to make way for agricultural activities, urban development, or logging, which can lead to loss of biodiversity and contribute to climate change. Permafrost refers to permanently frozen ground that remains at or below 0°C (32°F) for at least two consecutive years, primarily found in polar regions. Thawing permafrost due to rising global temperatures can release stored greenhouse gases, exacerbating climate change and impacting ecosystems.
What else can I help you with?
Does anything grow in permafrost?
No, nothing grows in permafrost because during permafrost, the ground is permanently frozen
What is the name for permanently frozen soil?

What is permanently frozen water called?
It is known as the permafrost.
What do you call a layer of permanently frozen subsoil?
permafrost
Is there permafrost in a semiarid desert?
Only Antarctica or the tundra would have permafrost.
What is below permafrost?
Below permafrost is below freezing temperature (0c)
The frozen soil found in the tundra biome is called?
permafrost
Is permafrost good?
It is not so much that permafrost is good, as losing permafrost is bad. Permafrost keeps gases like carbon dioxide trapped within its frozen depths; when permafrost thaws, that gas is released, exacerbating global warming. Further, permafrost develops its own ecosystem which is destroyed when the permafrost is destroyed through thawing. The loss of all permafrost would mean the extinction of a lot of species.
How could defrostation loss of permafrost or removal of plants affect the carbon cycle?
Deforestation, loss of permafrost, and the removal of plants disrupt the carbon cycle by releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere. Trees and plants act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 during photosynthesis; their removal diminishes this capacity. Additionally, as permafrost thaws due to climate change, it releases methane and CO2, further exacerbating greenhouse gas concentrations. These changes contribute to increased global warming and alter the balance of carbon storage and release in ecosystems.
