Re-Wetting Is Key For Boosting CO2 Storage In Southern Peatlands
Published
Maintaining a water level between 20 and 30 centimeters below the local water table will boost southern peatlands’ carbon storage and reduce the amount of climate-warming carbon dioxide (CO[2]) and methane they release back into the atmosphere during dry periods by up to 90%, a new Duke University study finds.
