NEW YORK, Oct. 22 [TNSenvironmentresearch] -- Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory issued the following news:
Northern peatlands may hold twice as much carbon as scientists previously suspected, according to a study published today in Nature Geoscience. The findings suggest that these boggy areas play a more important role in climate change and the carbon cycle than they're typically given credit for.
Peatlands are damp, mossy landscapes built on layer . . .
