Scientists have successfully revived ancient plants that were frozen 400 years ago

After being frozen for four centuries, ancient plants have been discovered by scientists due to the melting of Canadian icebergs Scientists have also successfully revived these ancient plants that have been frozen for 400 years According to reports, Dr Catherine Lafarge of the University of Alberta and colleagues have found undamaged bryophytes on Ellesmere Island in Canada's Arctic islands It is understood that the glaciers on Ellesmere Island have been melting in recent years, and these ancient plants, which have been frozen for 400 years, have been exposed to the surface It is understood that many ancient plants were buried under thick glaciers during the little ice age from 1550 to 1850 The glaciers on Ellesmere Island melt at a rate of 3 to 4 meters per year, and some ancient plants are able to return to the Jianghu Lafarge said that although many plants were buried under thick glaciers and damaged, they remained structurally intact, some even with striking Turquoise hues "Some of the ancient plants that come out of the glaciers actually seem to have some green When we brought these ancient plants back to the lab, we observed that green branches grew out of the old stems, which means that they may actually be able to feed, so we decided to try to cultivate these plants "
