In a study, scientists found carbon-rich, unmapped wetlands in the Pacific Northwest's forests, increasing carbon-storage estimates fivefold. Wetlands are effective at storing carbon, despite covering less than 10% of the world's land surface.
Forested wetlands are essential for stabilizing the climate by soaking up carbon from the atmosphere. Protecting these wetlands is vital for maintaining valuable habitat and fighting climate change.
