研究显示,湿地尽管只覆盖了3-13%的土地,却在全球储存了30%以上的土壤有机碳。
Study reveals wetlands, despite covering only 3-13% of land, store over 30% of soil organic carbon globally.
中国研究人员对全球湿地碳汇进行了量化,发现尽管仅占土地面积的3-13%,但湿地储存了30%以上的土壤有机碳。
Chinese researchers quantified the global wetland carbon sink, finding that despite covering only 3-13% of land, wetlands store over 30% of soil organic carbon.
该研究报告在《自然生态学和演变》中发表,使用一个模型确定影响湿地碳固存的关键因素,注意到2000-2020年的稳定,但各区域的气候变化影响各不相同。
The study, published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, used a model to identify key factors affecting wetland carbon sequestration, noting stability from 2000-2020 but varying impacts of climate change across regions.
研究人员强调需要保护湿地的水文完整性,以恢复碳吸收汇的复原力,并规划评估人类对碳损失的影响。
Researchers highlight the need to protect wetlands' hydrological integrity for carbon sink resilience, planning to assess human impact on carbon loss.
