En ny studie från Lunds universitet visar att skogar som har förstörts av bränder fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna har slocknat. Enligt de nya beräkningarna kan det ta över 40 år innan all den koldioxid som frigjordes på grund av skogsbranden i Sverige 2018 har bundits av ny skog igen. Forskningsresultaten gäller den boreala skogen som sträcker sig över det norra halvklotet fr
