Scientists have discovered that changes in climate and water levels are reducing the ability of some ecosystems in the Everglades to sequester carbon, while the environmental shifts are enhancing the potential for carbon uptake by scrub mangroves.
-
Researchers at the Yale School of the Environment found that mangrove forests in the Florida Everglades can recover rapidly from disturbance, underscoring the value of restoration efforts.
