马尔代夫红树林正在因海平面上升而死亡,有可能加速气候变化。 Mangrove forests in the Maldives are dying due to rising sea levels, potentially accelerating climate change.

最近的研究显示,马尔代夫的红树林正在因气候变化造成的海平面升高而死亡。 Recent research shows mangrove forests in the Maldives are dying due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. 25%以上的有红树林的岛屿自2020年以来丧失了一半以上的覆盖面。 Over 25% of the islands with mangroves lost more than half their cover since 2020. 海温变暖,海平面升高,与印度洋分极相联,导致红树林的盐分紧张,导致红树林死亡。 Warmer sea temperatures and increased sea levels, linked to the Indian Ocean Dipole, have led to salt stress in mangroves, causing them to die off. 这一损失可能释放储存的碳,加速气候变化。 This loss could release stored carbon, accelerating climate change. 研究报告警告说,全世界其他沿海生态系统也存在类似风险。 The study warns of similar risks for other coastal ecosystems worldwide.
