研究发现,西海岸潮汐沼泽每年储存相当于200万辆汽车的碳。 Study finds West Coast tidal swamps store carbon equivalent to two million cars annually.

来自加拿大、美国和墨西哥的科学家最近进行的一项研究表明,西海岸的潮汐沼泽是巨大的碳吸收汇,每年排放的碳储存量高达200万辆天然气驱动汽车。 A recent study by scientists from Canada, the U.S., and Mexico reveals that tidal swamps along the West Coast are significant carbon sinks, storing as much carbon as two million gas-powered cars emit annually. 这项研究分析了近1 300个沉积物样本,表明这些生态系统,包括红树林、沼泽地和泥滩,有效地捕获了碳。 The research, which analyzed nearly 1,300 sediment samples, shows that these ecosystems, including mangroves, marshes, and mudflats, trap carbon effectively. 这一调查结果突出了保护这些碳储存领域的重要性及其在支持海洋生物和过滤污染物方面的作用。 This finding highlights the importance of protecting these areas for carbon storage and their role in supporting marine life and filtering pollutants.
