Two wetland researchers in the field are measuring water levels, water quality, and the carbon sequestration capability of the site.
Restored wetlands prevent flood damage, improve water quality by filtering pollutants, and provide critical habitat for wildlife. Restored freshwater wetlands can turn from carbon sources into carbon sinks, providing a long-term cooling effect on the climate. #WetTribe #Wetlands #CarbonSink
Figure 1 MacDougall et al (2026): Grassland sites of this study, in relation to the WC land cover map. Most sites (indicated by the black dots) contain 11 reference grids (with some exceptions, see Methods) with each grid composed of 100 10 m × 10 m pixels (Supplementary Fig. 2). We classified each pixel (387,600 pixels in total) into 1 of 7 grassland types and 9 non-grassland land use classes (for example, settlement, crops, forest; see Supplementary Table 3). We chose WC for this map, instead of LC or DW, because it was the most accurate land cover product for grasslands (see Supplementary Table 2). Photo credit: ESA WC project 2021 (7).

How reliable are forest carbon sink estimates? A new study on Northeast China's secondary forests finds fine root NPP drives over 78% of estimation uncertainty.
A smarter framework cuts that uncertainty by up to 87%. doi.org/10.1007/s116...

🌳 Deep inside TERN’s Robson Creek Supersite in Far North Queensland, a silent shift is underway. The forest looks alive, but the data tells another story. What happens when a #carbonsink becomes a #carbonsource?

A carbon sink absorbs more CO₂ than it releases. Forests are key carbon sinks, storing carbon in biomass and soils through photosynthesis. Strengthening these ecosystems helps mitigate climate change.

"The ocean is the largest carbon sink on Earth, holding about 38,000GT of carbon."

Forests function as active carbon sinks. They capture CO₂ through photosynthesis and store carbon in biomass and soils. IPCC and FAO data confirm their critical role in climate mitigation.

Between 2010 and 2017, African forests lost 106bn kg of biomass per year, equivalent to weight of about 106m cars. Worst affected were #tropicalrainforests in Congo, Madagascar and west Africa.

Why does it matter to the wider world?
The Amazon remains a powerful #carbonsink. As of 2022, it was estimated to hold 71.5bn metric tonnes of carbon, above & below ground, according to the MAAP report released in 2024. That is equivalent to nearly 2 yrs of global CO2 emissions
