On account of changing climate, Arctic regions of North America are getting greener with what percent of the land cover looking like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems?

a. 25

b. 55

c. 65

d. 75

ANSWER: 75

Explanation:

On account of changing climate, Arctic regions of N.America are getting greener with a third of the total land cover looking more like landscapes found in warmer ecosystems, as per a new NASA study.

Close to 87,000 images taken from Landsat satellites has converted into data reflecting the amount of healthy vegetation in the Arctic and boreal N. America

Landsat is a programme providing continuous longest space based record of Earth’s land vegetation

It showcases the climate impact on vegetation at higher latitudes as well

Temperatures are warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere which has led to longer seasons for plants to grow in and changes to the soils.

Climate impact on vegetation in the high latitudes has been the result of temperatures warming faster in the Arctic than elsewhere
