Habitat Changes Along the Atlantic Coast Will Release Even More Carbon Into the Atmosphere, Study Predicts

A new modeling study headed by scientists at Duke University has found that increasing sea levels make marshes shift inland in six mid-Atlantic states, and the coastal zone will not remain to act as a carbon sink but liberate more carbon into the air.
