Researchers suggested that moose were contributing to climate change by effecting vegetation growth and the carbon cycle in Norwegian forests.
Moose tend to eat birch and young samplings in clearcut forests, an act researchers claim is where the ungulates "gobble up" possible carbon storage in trees. Aubrie Spady is a Freelance Production Assistant for Fox News Digital.
"It was really a surprise to see how much moose can influence vegetation growth, the carbon cycle and the climate system," said Xiangping Hu, a researcher at NTNU’s Industrial Ecology (IndEcol), said in the release.
