Large slow-growing hydrophytes increase wetland carbon storage

Key Points

• Wetlands enriched with large hydrophytes show significant increases in carbon storage and biomass.
• Carbon storage increases by approximately 30% in wetlands populated by large slow-growing hydrophytes.
• Analysis of wetland ecosystems indicates the role of hydrophytes in enhancing carbon sequestration and ecological balance.
• This highlights the importance of preserving wetland habitats to support climate resilience and carbon management.
