研究发现,河流将古代储存的碳释放到大气中,气候变化日益恶化。 Rivers release ancient stored carbon into the atmosphere, worsening climate change, study finds.

研究人员发现,河流释放大量古代碳回大气层,导致气候变化。 Researchers have found that rivers release significant amounts of ancient carbon back into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. 这种碳在地貌中储存了数千年,当河流输送土壤和有机物质并到达微生物将其分解的水体时,这种碳就会释放出来。 This carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years, is released when rivers transport soil and organic matter and reach water bodies where microbes break it down. 这一发现凸显了河流在碳循环中的作用,以及保护自然景观以减轻气候变化影响的必要性。 This discovery highlights the role of rivers in carbon cycling and the need to protect natural landscapes to mitigate climate change impacts.
