Microalgae Innovation Offers Hope for Combating Global Emissions

Quick Summary:

• Microbes in carbon-rich soils, such as peatlands and permafrost, may increase thier rate of photosynthesis under warmer conditions, potentially offsetting some carbon dioxide emissions.
• Current climate models might overestimate total emissions from degrading landscapes as the planet heats up.
• Peatlands are critical carbon sinks; the northern hemisphere alone stores about 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon in permafrost.
• Thes natural ecosystems are expected to release stored carbon dioxide due to shifting microbial activity caused by rising global temperatures.
