Human activities such as marsh draining for agriculture and logging are increasingly eating away at saltwater and freshwater wetlands that cover only 1% of Earth’s surface but store more than 20% of all the climate-warming carbon dioxide absorbed by ecosystems worldwide. A new study published May 5 in Science by a team of Dutch, American and German scientists shows that it’s not too late to reverse the losses.

Shoreline vegetation at Lake Bosumtwi, a crater lake in Ghana. Lake Bosumtwi was created by a meteorite impact around 1 million years ago and has been filling with sediments since then. Analysis of the sediment properties and microfossils has revealed insights into past ecosystem change around the crater. Image credit: William D. Gosling
