Heatwaves and drought quelled La Niña’s carbon storage benefits in 2021
In 2021, a drought in Central Asia reduced CO2 uptake by plants, which curtailed the carbon-storing effects of the La Niña climate pattern that year. Image credit: Piyaset/Shutterstock.

How the planet stores our excess carbon emissions: « Over the last 150 years, humans have emitted over 2,000 gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, increasing the CO2 concentration by 50 percent from pre-Industrial Revolution levels. »

Forests' vanishing snow is also bad news for carbon storage
The loss of snow cover in temperate forests is set to slow their growth and reduce their ability to remove carbon from the atmosphere, an overlooked consequence of climate change

Grasslands and wetlands are vanishing nearly 4 times faster than forests, a 15-year global study reveals. Driven by agricultural demand for meat and crops, this rapid loss threatens overlooked ecosystems that store up to 35% of the world's carbon and host 33% of global biodiversity hotspots.

A decade-long study reveals that Sweden’s old-growth forests store up to 89% more carbon than managed forests. Researchers found that the soil alone in these ancient ecosystems holds as much carbon as the trees, dead wood, and soil of managed forests combined.

💧 Beaver dams are creating wetlands that store carbon up to ten times more effectively than river areas without beavers.
🌳 Over 13 years, a single wetland in northern Switzerland captured over 1,100 tonnes of carbon, equivalent to two Olympic swimming pools of charcoal.
🌿 Beavers help trap carbon by slowing water, allowing sediments to settle and organic material to be buried, while new wetland plants absorb CO2.
