The study by a team from the Krasnoyarsk Federal Research Center in Russia and the National Institute of Aeronautics in the US, published in Environmental Research Letters, says much of Asian Russia, which is 13 million square kilometers and accounts for 77% of the country's land area, could become habitable by the end of the 21st century.
“We wanted to learn whether future climate changes could lead to less hospitable parts of Asian Russia becoming more habitable for humans,” said lead study author Elena Parfenova.
