This spurs higher rates of photosynthesis and plant growth, causing marsh plants to trap more sediment above ground and generate more organic soil below ground, the researchers explain. The...

Current emissions reductions goals (Intended National Determined Contributions, or INDCs) connected with the agreement point to warming...
