Wildfires sweeping through the vast boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia could be having a larger impact on the climate than scientists once believed. A new study led by researchers at UC Berkeley suggests these northern fires may release far more carbon into the atmosphere than current estimates indicate.

The reason is that these fires do not only burn trees. In many boreal regions, flames can spread downward into thick layers of carbon r...
