Scientist: Temperate freshwater wetlands are 'forgotten' carbon sinks - PhysOrg.com
Scientist: Temperate freshwater wetlands are 'forgotten' carbon sinks PhysOrg.com The study showed that the stagnant wetland had an average carbon storage rate per year that is almost twice as high as the carbon storage rate of the flow-through wetland. In addition, the scientists came up with measures of carbon storage in the ... |
Growing Doubts in Europe On Future of Carbon Storage - New York Times
Growing Doubts in Europe On Future of Carbon Storage New York Times Two carbon capture and storage projects in Germany and Britain were canceled last quarter, and many of the remaining projects will probably share that fate this year, imperiled by a mix of regulatory objections, a lack of money, public opposition to ... |
The good news about carbon storage in tropical vegetation
( Woods Hole Research Center ) Tropical vegetation contains 21 percent more carbon than previously thought. Using a combination of remote sensing and field data, scientists were able to produce the first "wall-to-wall" map (with a spatial resolution of 500 m x 500 m) of carbon storage of forests, shrublands, and savannas in the tropics of Africa, Asia, and South America. Reliable estimates of ... Read more
