Benefits and trade-offs of large herbivores grazing for climate change mitigation in the Arctic depend on ecosystem type, grazing pressure, time scale and/or grazer community (Falk et al., 2015; Yl.nne et al., 2020). To better understand and quantify interaction of all the processes involved, future monitoring and research is needed (Macias-Fauria et al., 2020). Soil cooling effect, albedo increase, and additional carbon sequestration may prevent or at least postpone permafrost thawing. Such ecosystem management practices could be scaled up in Arctic permafrost areas and play a significant role as an ecosystem-based solution for global climate change mitigation strategy.
