flag Study reveals wetlands, despite covering only 3-13% of land, store over 30% of soil organic carbon globally.

flag 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. flag 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. flag Researchers highlight the need to protect wetlands' hydrological integrity for carbon sink resilience, planning to assess human impact on carbon loss.
