Peatlands make up only 3% of land on the planet but hold 2X as much carbon as the world's forests do. Researchers Duke University & Oak Ridge Lab found that protists (a type of microbe) changed their feeding habits under the warmer temps and higher CO2 from climate change: today.duke.edu/2024/03/climat…
