Researchers from Canada , the U.S. and Mexico pooled data and analyzed nearly 1,300 sediment samples from the length of the Pacific Northwest coast to examine coastal ecosystems.
The woody wetlands feature a tangle of shrubs, grasses and trees, like willows and Sitka spruce, that can trap about nine million tonnes of organic carbon per hectare.
This is the equivalent to the amount of carbon burned by two million gas-powered cars every year .
