Peatlands are a type of wetland that store between 1/3 and 1/2 of soil carbon on Earth. As temperatures rise, that stored carbon is at risk of being released as CO2 and CH4.
Professor @joelkostka.bsky.social studies how, why, and how much these ecosystems release and what that means for our planet.
