Coastal marshes are the heroes we don't deserve. They combat climate change by trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. but every hero has their kryptonite, and for coastal marshes that's too much water, a common effect of climate change is glaciers melt. and just when we thought our hero was about to drown researchers discovered that trapped carbon dioxide helps protect the marshes. carbon dioxide helps in the fertilization process as marshes trap carbon dioxide they accumulate more organic matter helping them grow bigger and more resilient to drowning. Thank goodness marshes are so resilient. Climbworks supports this video.
