Grasslands and Wetlands Are Being Gobbled Up By Agriculture, Mostly Livestock - Inside Climate News
A new study takes a first-of-its kind look at how farming converts non-forested areas and major carbon sinks into cropland and pasture.

Wetlands do not need to be flooded to provide the greatest climate benefit, shows study
Wetlands make up only about 6% of the land area but contain about 30% of the terrestrial organic carbon pool. Therefore, CO2 emissions from wetlands are central to the global climate balance. In Denmark, the plan is to flood 140,000 hectares of low-lying land such as bogs and meadows as part of the Green Tripartite Agreement. Flooding such areas will slow down the decomposition of organic material in the soil and keep the CO2 in the soil rather than allowing it to be released to the atmosphere …

foodweb_baywet: Florida cypress wetlands food web (1998)
Networks of carbon exchanges among species in the cypress wetlands of South Florida. One network covers the wet and the other the dry season. Each node represents a taxon (similar to a species), and a directed edge indicates that one taxon uses another as food.
This network has 128 nodes and 2106 edges.

1. This seems like a bit much.
2. They’d better nominate “Minneapolis-St. Paul,” or they’ll never hear the end of it.

Grasslands are vanishing nearly four times faster than forests, global study finds
Along with forests, grasslands and wetlands are also being converted to cropland and pasture at an increasing rate around the world—often for livestock farming and the export of agricultural products. An international team of researchers, including Martin Persson from Chalmers, has now analyzed for the first time where, for what purpose, and how quickly natural non-forest ecosystems are being converted into agricultural land on a global scale. The results show that these ecologically highly v…

Mediterranean wetland under pressure, report shows
On World Wetlands Day, the recent report released by the Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory (MWO) warns that despite their vital importance for populations and biodiversity, Mediterranean wetlands remain fragile ecosystems, subject to multiple pressures (intensive agriculture, overexploitation of water, artificialisation, and climate change) that are causing rapid and continuous losses.
