Mangroves hold a secret that could supercharge carbon storage
Mangroves are famous for storing carbon, but a new study suggests they may be doing it in more ways than we usually count.
Researchers found that a tough, long-lasting form of carbon linked to fires and fossil fuel burning can build up in mangrove soils, and that a dissolved version of it may also move from land into coastal waters.
I found this a rare bit of hopeful news in climate change. Mangroves are useful in so many ways!
