Microbes in carbon -rich soils increase their rate of photosynthesis In warmer conditions, the suggestion of current climatic models can overestimate the expected total emissions from degrading landscapes as the climate warms up.
While the world heats up, natural ecosystems like peat bogs and permafrost should start Rapid release of stored carbon dioxide As microbial activity moves in their soils. These environments could be enormous sources of future emissions, with estimates suggesting the northern hemisphere Store 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon In Pergélisol, while peat bogs of the world …
