Post-glacial ecosystems could help slow down climate change: Study
Research suggests post-glacial ecosystems could play a role in mitigating climate change impacts.
- Post-glacial ecosystems have the potential to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas concentrations and slow down climate change.
- These ecosystems are known for their ability to store carbon in vegetation and soil, acting as a natural carbon sink.
- As these ecosystems recover and grow in size and biodiversity, they can enhance their capacity to absorb and store more carbon over time.
- Preservation and restoration of post-glacial ecosystems can also contribute to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience, which are essential for adapting to climate change impacts.
- Efforts to protect and restore these ecosystems can complement other climate change mitigation strategies and help to enhance the overall resilience of the environment.
