New research from Ducks Unlimited Canada and the University of Saskatchewan demonstrates climate-cooling effects of wetlands
The study authors added a wetland module to cutting-edge models that replicate interactions between land surfaces and climate.
- The study authors added a wetland module to cutting-edge models that replicate interactions between land surfaces and climate.
- The purpose of the study was to explore the impacts of wetlands on regional climate and improve their representation in climate modelling.
- The regional cooling effect of conserved wetlands could provide a valuable line of defence against heat-induced crop stress.
- Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leader in wetland conservation.
