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,

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.
