Restore wetlands to improve grazing lands

A recent review of research into how best to enhance carbon storage on grazed lands in the US identified wetland restoration as one of the most effective practices. Almost all of the wetland research and restoration projects that I have worked on were impacted by grazing, so the broad findings from this paper correspond well to my focused experience.

“…there is strong evidence to support that wetland restoration can be an effective climate mitigation strategy for sequestering SOC [soil organic carbon] and restored wetland systems can have similar GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions to pre-established wetland systems.”
