Coastal wetlands capture more carbon as seas rise
As sea levels rise, coastal wetlands could play a key role in mitigating the effects of greenhouse gas emissions by capturing and storing large volumes of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), research ...
Not just trees: Most of the carbon sequestered on land is stored in soil and water, study finds
Recent studies have shown that carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems are increasing, mitigating around 30% of the CO2 ...

Soil organic carbon variability in Australian temperate freshwater wetlands
Globally, there is little information on freshwater (non-tidal) wetland below ground soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, sequestration rates and, in particular, their within-wetland variation. This ...

Coastal wetlands, champions of carbon capture, are believed to remove more greenhouse gases than they produce
Lagomasino was in the Everglades conducting fieldwork as part of NASA's BlueFlux Campaign, a three-year project that aims to study how sub-tropical wetlands influence atmospheric levels of carbon ...

Louisiana’s wetlands store massive amounts of carbon. They also contribute to emissions when lost.
ST. MARY PARISH – Louisiana’s wetlands are one of the planet’s most vital carbon storage centers, but destroying these reservoirs can accelerate harmful emissions that intensify global ...
