Study reveals wetlands, despite covering only 3-13% of land, store over 30% of soil organic carbon globally.
Chinese researchers quantified the global wetland carbon sink, finding that despite covering only 3-13% of land, wetlands store over 30% of soil organic carbon.
The study, published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, used a model to identify key factors affecting wetland carbon sequestration, noting stability from 2000-2020 but varying impacts of climate change across regions.
Researchers highlight the need to protect wetlands' hydrological integrity for carbon sink resilience, planning to assess human impact on carbon loss.
