Industrialization weakens important carbon sinkLondon UK (SPX) Dec 02, 2011 Australian scientists have reconstructed the past six thousand years in estuary sedimentation records to look for changes in plant and algae abundance. Their findings, published in Global Change Biology, show an increase in microalgae relative to seagrass in the past 60 years. This shift could diminish the ability of estuaries, which are natural global carbon sinks, to mitigate climate change. According to Dr. Peter Macreadie, University of Technology, Sydney Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fel ... read more |
