In my personal opinion I think that carbon mitigation. Reducing carbon reduces pollution. Pollution is one of the biggest problems facing our planet today. Wetlands help balance the amount of carbon in our air, too much carbon is bad and too little carbon is also bad. But wetlands help keep a balance so that there is just enough carbon in the atmosphere.
on May 4th, we tested the water in our wetlands. We tested for: Phosphate= 0 Ammonia= 0.05 pH=0 Oxygen levels, temperature, conductivity, turbidity. We did these tests because we wanted to see how clean the water is and weather the water is safe to drink. We found that the water is not safe to drink and that is somewhat due to the beavers that live In our wetlands.
It would be interesting to create a balance sheet to establish how much carbon is absorbed versus how much gwg is emitted by a wetland.
