被降级的新西兰河口在热浪中释放出更多的甲烷;健康的河口吸收碳,显示生物多样性可增强气候抗御能力。 Degraded New Zealand estuaries emit more methane in heatwaves; healthy ones absorb carbon, showing biodiversity boosts climate resilience.

新西兰被降级的河口对热浪的抗御能力较弱,新的研究显示,被破坏的泥土场地排放更多的甲烷,而较健康的沙地地区在长期热中吸收了更多的二氧化碳。 Degraded estuaries in New Zealand are less resilient to heatwaves, new research shows, with muddy, damaged sites emitting more methane while healthier sandy areas absorbed more carbon dioxide during prolonged heat. 新西兰地球科学研究发现,热浪在退化地区破坏海底生命的情况更加严重,突出表明生物多样性可增强复原力。 The study, by Earth Sciences New Zealand, found heatwaves disrupted seafloor life more severely in degraded zones, highlighting that biodiversity boosts resilience. 研究人员强调必须保护和恢复河口,以维持其在气候调节方面的作用。 Researchers stress the need to protect and restore estuaries to maintain their role in climate regulation.
