Video: Between soil and snow—explaining the subnivium

Professors Jonathan Pauli and Benjamin Zuckerberg explain the subnivium—habitat between the ground and winter snow cover that is being affected by climate change.

They have teamed up with Operation Fresh Start to build automated "micro-greenhouses" to aid their study.
