The amount of carbon in dead vegetation preserved in the far northern permafrost is estimated to be twice what the atmosphere holds as CO2. Global warming could allow this plant matter to decompose, releasing either CO2 or methane - both greenhouse gases.

Rose Cory at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her colleagues, studying melting...
