Researchers discover remarkable ability of reindeer to fight dangerous threat: 'Our results emphasize their significance'

A group of researchers at Finland's University of Oulu discovered how grazing reindeer can help stabilize the natural environment despite our changing climate.  As Earth.com reported, the researchers conducted multiyear studies in two boreal forest sites. The team manipulated the winter snow pack to observe how the forests later released carbon in the summer.  They found that reindeer grazing patterns can impact carbon release and improve biodiv…
