What is permafrost and where is it located?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Permafrost is the soil and subsoil frozen for at least two continuous years, free of ice or snow most of the time. A permafrost soil, due to the poverty of its nutrients, is a kind of frozen desert that has a vegetation of little diversity. Permafrost thickness varies from a few meters to several hundred meters deep, depending on the climate of the place. It is calculated that in the northern hemisphere, permafrost has an area of 23 million km2 (Spain would fit 45 times in this territory).<\/p>\n<p>The word permafrost was coined in 1943 by S. W. Muller. It comes from the words &#8220;permanent&#8221; and &#8220;frost&#8221;, that is, permanently frozen.<\/p>\n<p>Permafrost soils are cold deserts, with very low humidity and rainfall, that occupy huge territories, such as the tundra, one of the coldest biomes on the planet, which has been described as a treeless plain. In the taiga, the soil can freeze during winter, but the summer months are warm enough for the surface to thaw, although the deeper parts remain frozen. Permafrost is found mainly in Alaska, Canada, and Russia, but also in the Nordic countries and the Himalayas.<\/p>\n<p>Permafrost is one of the largest deposits of organic carbon on the planet. It is estimated that under its soils there could be twice as much carbon as exists in the atmosphere. With increasing global warming, there is a risk that the permafrost layer will thaw and consequently the carbon will be transformed into carbon dioxide by microbial action and escape to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator section-separator triangle fusion-section-separator-2\" style=\"--awb-border-bottom:6px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);--awb-spacer-height:6px;--awb-svg-margin-left:0;--awb-svg-margin-right:0;--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-icon-top:auto;--awb-icon-bottom:-16px;--awb-margin-top:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-svg\"><div class=\"divider-candy-arrow bottom\" style=\"top:6px;border-top-color: rgba(57,153,38,0.9);\"><\/div><div class=\"divider-candy bottom\" style=\"bottom:-26px;border-bottom:1px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);border-left:1px solid rgba(57,153,38,0.9);\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer\"><div class=\"fusion-section-separator-spacer-height\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3><span style=\"color: #333333;\">FAQS about Permafrost<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/sgkplanet.com\/en\/what-is-permafrost-and-where-is-it-located\/\"><strong>1.
