Mapping methane reduction potential of tidal wetland restoration in the United States

J. R. Holmquist, M. Eagle, et al.

This fascinating study reveals that restoring coastal wetlands from freshwater to brackish conditions could significantly reduce methane emissions. Conducted by researchers including James R. Holmquist and Meagan Eagle, it highlights the potential for reducing emissions by 0.91 Teragrams of CO2 equivalents annually and maps out nearly 1,800 parcels ripe for tidal reconnection.
