Rising sea levels may lead to more methane emitted from wetlands: Research
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, which is altering ecosystems. Scientists assumed that the tidal wetlands present in estuaries could create less methane, a strong greenhouse gas because the increased influx of seawater renders these habitats less hospitable to methane-producing
