Scientists buried between 40 and 80 tea bags at a depth of about 15 centimeters in each wetland site in 28 countries.
In a global study, scientists buried 19,000 tea bags at 180 wetland sites in 28 countries.
The study found that rising temperatures could threaten the ability of wetlands to store carbon, writes Interesting Engineering.
“This is the first long-term study of its kind, using the teabag method, and will help us determine how we can maximize carbon storage in wetlands and help reduce emissions worldwide. Changes in carbon sinks could have a significant impact on global warming – the less carbon decomposes, the more carbon…
