Beavers turn small rivers into carbon traps
A study has shown that beaver dams enable bodies of water to store nearly 200 times more carbon than ordinary streams, thereby reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere and oceans. Beavers alter the biogeochemistry of rivers, transforming them into highly effective carbon reservoirs.
