From the link:

“It was 10 million times larger than any previous study looking at permafrost N2O emissions. It makes [previous] findings quite a bit more serious.�

Isn't it 2 different things? 10 million times larger than any previous study (refers to the area measured) and 12 times higher than expected (refers to the results).
