Saving Marshes- Saving the planet (Reflection)

I think that this article was interesting, although it was a little bit hard to understand (It includes a lot of unknown words/terms, so I had to use a sort of dictionary).
This article talks about how the marshes can help saving the planet, if they wouldn't disappear. The marsh plants, and marsh grass capture the carbon dioxide and store it in the marsh, helping the planet in it's global warming problems. The scientists analyzed the marsh soil and found out that the level of carbon in it is rising, but, the number of marshes is decreasing. So the scientists think that we should increase the number of marshes all around the world. Marshes are an important part of our ecosystem and they can help us survive by capturing the carbon dioxide (taking it away).
This article also gives some useful information about the carbon cycle and about global warming.
