Scientists highlight importance of bogs in fighting climate change
On National Bog Day, experts are working to raise awareness about these unique ecosystems that serve as natural carbon sinks and help combat global warming. Dennis Whigam, a retired scientist and plant ecologist, continues his work studying these special environments despite being retired. “I guess most people probably look at a bog and say yuck,” Whigam said. But these wetland ecosystems play a crucial role in our environment, particularly in the fight against climate change.
