Which of the following changes is expected to release CO₂ into the atmosphere? O The rapid decomposition of organic matter when permafrost thaws A reduction in wildfires occurring in peatlands as precipitation increases An increase in tree growth as warmer temperatures allow forests to expand north A decrease in peat bog primary production as coastal peat bogs are flooded by rising seas
