Salt marshes to absorb carbon to 2050, but emit it later
In 2009, a “Blue Carbon” report by the UN Environment Programme also said that mangroves, salt marshes and sea grasses captured up to 450 million tonnes of carbon a year. It urged far greater ...

New England’s salt marshes store 10 million cars’ worth of carbon—and add another 15,000-worth every year
While scientists have long known that coastal salt marshes are just such a sink for “blue carbon,” or carbon stored in the ocean and coastal ecosystems, it has been difficult to get an ...
