🌾 Grasslands store about 90% of their carbon belowground, compared to just 23% in forests. This makes them an important, often overlooked carbon sink.

🌾Grasslands play a vital role in climate mitigation, yet they are often undervalued in carbon strategies. While forests store most of their carbon aboveground, grasslands retain nearly 90% of theirs belowground, making this carbon more stable and less vulnerable to loss during events like drought or fire.

Emerging research also suggests grasslands may store more carbon than currently estimated, particularly in deep soil layers.

RT @NASAEarth: Many farmers have been forced to replant as prolonged flooding from a slow-moving storm system in early April 2025 killed off crops in the Arkansas Delta.
These false-color @NASA_Landsat images highlight the extent of the flooding.

RT @NWSMobile: 🙋Have you heard of a Potential Tropical Cyclone (PTC) Advisory?

🌀PTC Advisories are issued BEFORE a tropical depression or storm forms. It gives us the ability to give you more lead time prior to possible tropical storm, hurricane, or storm surge conditions.
