scientists' ability to derive biological and environmental information
from geological data, the National Science Foundation and the U.S.
Geological Survey asked a National Research Council committee to
assess the scientific opportunities provided by the geologic record
and recommend how to take advantage of these opportunities.

Swamps, marshes, peat bogs, river deltas, mangroves, tundra, lagoons and river flood plains (wetlands)
contain 771 billion tonnes of CO2, that is one-fifth of all the carbon on Earth
and about the same amount of carbon as is now in the atmosphere.
Together they account for 6 percent of Earth's land surface and store 20 percent of its carbon.
