flag Rivers release ancient stored carbon into the atmosphere, worsening climate change, study finds.

flag Researchers have found that rivers release significant amounts of ancient carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. flag This carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years, is released when rivers transport soil and organic matter and reach water bodies where microbes break it down. flag This discovery highlights the role of rivers in carbon cycling and the need to protect natural landscapes to mitigate climate change impacts.
