文摘Mangrove ecosystems are celebrated as powerful carbon sinks,absorbing and storing atmospheric CO_(2) more efficiently than most terrestrial forests.However,they also release methane-a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide.A study published in Nature Geoscience(doi:10.1038/s41561-025-01848-4)on November 14 reveals that mangrove tree stems represent a previously overlooked pathway of methane emissions,partially reducing the climate benefits of these coastal ecosystems.
