Fun fact 🧐, this gage was a semi-finalist in #GageGreatness, a bracket competition we held the spring 🥇. Through Twitter polls, people chose their favorite streamgage.
@USGS research shows past studies overestimated the amount of soil organic carbon stored in wetlands across the US. This form of carbon storage affects water availability, so miscalculating SOC makes water models less accurate.
@USGS scientists more accurately estimated US wetland SOC storage as 24% < than past estimates. Their new methods used harmonized data from multiple sources & accounted for differences in SOC across soil types.
