Freshwater #ecosystems, such as #urban streams 💧🏙️, face a greater threat of species extinction as they support a higher level of #biodiversity 📈 than terrestrial or marine environments.
Researchers explore conditions needed for ecological recovery.

Yesterday was #WorldWetlandsDay! Many northern landscapes are covered by carbon-rich #wetlands, known as peatlands.
Due to #ClimateChange, forests 🌳 could outgrow 20% of peatlands, leading to a release of roughly 4% of European soil organic carbon.
