Deeper Dives: Biodiversity, Carbon Storage, and "Natural Geoengineering"

We talked about the great potential of marine ecosystems, and particularly big charismatic marine vertebrates to enhance carbon storage in the oceans.  Here is another article by Oswald Schmitz talking about the same thing over at the Yale e360 site:
How ‘Natural Geoengineering’Can Help Slow Global Warming.  The key linkage here is something we've come to call "carbon conservation".  The idea that ecosystem carbon storage and biodiversity conservation can be linked.  Here Schmitz makes that link for both terrestrial and marine ecosystems in a popular article.  Definitely worth a look.
