Atmospheric Maintenance

This image was taken on January 12, 2017 at the Carolina Beach State Park. This image depicts a brackish marsh that provides a unique buffer to help moderate global climate changing conditions. The plants and organisms are a part of global cycles for water, nitrogen and sulfur. The marsh is similar to a carbon sink as it holds the carbon in its plants and soil instead of releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere.
