Recent research indicates that rising sea levels may not only flood coastlines but could also significantly impact coastal ecosystems by releasing stored carbon.
Conducted by Missouri University of Science and Technology, the study highlights the potential for substantial carbon loss, estimated at up to 90%.
This finding raises concerns about the implications for climate change and the health of coastal environments.
