Wetland emissions mean more methane
2014-05-01 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate News Network: Methane emissions are rising globally because wetlands especially in northern latitudes are releasing more than anyone had realised, a team of researchers based in Canada says. Apart from fossil fuels and agricultural production, methane emissions also come from natural sources such as microbes in saturated wetland soils, and scientists say new studies show it is much more damaging than carbon dioxide emissions. The bad news is that global emissions of methane appear to be rising. The...

Measuring microbes makes wetland health monitoring more affordable, says researcher
2013-04-10 01:42:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Wetlands serve as Earth's kidneys. They filter and clean people's water supplies while serving as important habitat for many species, including iconic species like cattails, cranes and alligators. Conventional ecosystem health assessments have focused on populations of these larger species. However, the tiny, unseen creatures in the wetlands provided crucial indicators of the ecosystems' health in a study by University of Missouri Associate Professor of Engineering Zhiqiang Hu and his team. Using...
