1 00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:04,190 NASA researchers are studying how Arctic vegetation responds to wildfires. 2 00:00:04,190 --> 00:00:08,520 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,530 4 00:00:12,530 --> 00:00:16,540 Although fires occur naturally in the Arctic forest regions, the changing climate causes more lightning strikes, 5 00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:20,850 6 00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:28,328 Which can create more frequent wildfires and change the native vegetation.
