Why Is Sergey Zimov Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Sergey Aphanasievich Zimov is a Russian geophysicist who specialises in arctic and subarctic ecology. He is the Director of Northeast Scientific Station , a senior research fellow of the Pacific Institute for Geography , and one of the founders of Pleistocene Park . He is best known for his work in advocating the theory that human overhunting of large herbivores during the Pleistocene caused Siberia's grassland-steppe ecosystem to disappear and for raising awareness as to the important roles permafrost and thermokarst lakes play in the global carbon cycle.
