restoring dried-out wetlands could?avoid emissions equivalent to more than 100 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide by the end of the century, about a tenth of all expected human-caused emissions over the same period.

到本世纪末，恢复单调的湿地可以避免近1000多亿吨二氧化碳的排放，恰当于同期估计人类发生的总排放量的非常之一。

the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by wetlands depends on the amount of water in them. when wetland soil is covered in water, it emits large amounts of methane. when dry, wetlands emit less methane, but the dead plants and other organisms within them decompose and release carbon dioxide and potent nitrous oxide.

湿地排放的温室气体量取决于湿地中的水量。当湿地土壤被水掩盖时，它会开释许多的甲烷。单调时，湿地排放的甲烷较少，但其间去世的植物和其他有机物会堕落分化，开释出二氧化碳和强效的一氧化二氮。

the researchers estimated that restoring the more than 4 million square kilometres of degraded wetlands to an ideal water level would avoid between 100 and 400 gigatonnes of carbon-equivalent emissions by the end of the century – a greater reduction than what would be achieved with all of the forest restoration projects that countries around the world have committed to.

研讨人员估量，假定把400多万平方公里的退化湿地恢复到抱负的水位，那么到本世纪末将避免1000到4000亿吨的碳当量排放——这比世界各国一切的承诺的恢复森林的项目加起来可以削减的碳排放量都要多。

preventing degradation?of intact wetlands would avoid an additional 150 to 650 billion tonnes of emissions by the end of the century. regions with the greatest potential for emissions reductions include siberia, canada, the congo, brazil and indonesia.

在本世纪末之前，避免湿地全体退化将进一步削减1500至6500亿吨的碳排放。削减排放潜力最大的区域包括西伯利亚、加拿大、刚果、巴西和印度尼西亚。

restoring wetlands competes with other ways these lands are used, but effective restoration is happening, says?chris evans?at the uk centre for ecology and hydrology. a project in europe is researching ways to restore wetlands without displacing agriculture by growing food on peatlands. china has a new law to protect more than half of its wetlands by 2025. in the us,?beavers?are helping to dam water and rewet wetlands, too.

英国生态学和水文学中心的克里斯·埃文斯说，恢复湿地会与其他湿有利地势用方法构成竞赛，可是如今也存在有用的湿地恢复方法。欧洲的一个项目正在研讨如何在不替代农业的情况下，经过在泥炭地上栽培粮食的方法恢复湿地。我国经过了一项新的法令，需求在2025年之前对对折以上的湿地势成维护。在美国，海狸也在协助筑起水坝，复湿那些湿地。
