What Role Do Beavers Play in Climate Change?

I have some good news for you all: Songs of the Wild is coming back to WMUA as a talk show focused around natural science, current research, and climate change, Tuesdays from 4:30 - 5:00pm! I will be sharing stories of fascinating natural history and research, and interviewing local scientists, graduate researchers and conservation groups with you all, in order to keep science alive in the minds of the public. Stay tuned!

Until then, please enjoy this article about a study from 2013 on how beaver dams sequester and release carbon that contributes to climate change:

Beaver wetlands store plenty of carbon, but may produce a lot, too
