Destruction of coastal habitats may release as much as 1 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year, researchers have warned. A new Duke led study provides the most comprehensive estimate of global carbon emissions from the loss of these coastal habitats to date: 0.15 to 1.2 billion tons. It suggests there is a high value associated with keeping these coastal-marine ecosystems intact as the release of their stored carbon costs roughly 6-42 ...Sunday, 9 September 2012
Study Says Destroyed Coastal Habitats may Release Tons of Greenhouse Gases
Destruction of coastal habitats may release as much as 1 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year, researchers have warned.
