Extra CO2 Does not Always Stimulate Wetland Growth, Study Says

The existence of wetlands throughout the globe has been subjected to the risk of drowning from increasing seas. However, for decades, researchers had a belief that one more aspect of climate change—growing carbon dioxide (CO2)—could trigger additional plant growth. This allows coastal wetlands to grow pretty quickly to outpace sea-level increase.
