New research creates model for measuring CO2 uptake Given the pivotal role coastal wetlands play in erosion control, habitat provision, and water purification, restoration projects are unquestionably a valuable investment. But now, new work that emphasizes their role as major global carbon sinks may help provide a novel funding source for restoration — carbon markets. Flanked […]
