A major global study using teabags as a measuring device shows warming temperatures may reduce the amount of carbon stored in wetlands. The international team of scientists buried 19,000 bags of green ...

Viruses in wetland soil play a more important role than previously understood and could even be indicators of ecosystem ...

Wetlands are among the most efficient ecosystems for carbon (C) sequestration, storing more than 30% of global soil C in only 3–13% of Earth's land surface. However, the spatiotemporal patterns of ...

Wetlands act as natural carbon sinks, which makes them crucial in mitigating climate change. Researchers are now uncovering innovative ways to measure their carbon storage capacity. In a new global ...

Peat bogs sequester a massive amount of the Earth's carbon dioxide. But even as scientists work to better understand bogs' sequestration, the wetlands are under threat. On a cold winter afternoon, ...

The recently published research utilized a novel method involving tea leaves to study carbon sequestration in wetland ecosystems across 28 countries. University of New England Professor Pam Morgan is ...

Scientists are taking a second look at the role that wetlands play in climate change. Coastal wetlands absorb a lot of carbon, which is good, but new research in Delaware finds they also release a lot ...

(CNN) — A massive fire is ripping through a protected wetland in New Zealand, threatening its delicate ecosystem and the rare species that live there – some found nowhere else on Earth. The blaze at ...
