Seagrasses are one of the most efficient global sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the world, removing twice as much CO2 as forests on land – and 35 times faster.But a new study has revealed that these lush green meadows also release a huge amount of sugar into the soil beneath them – also known as the rhizosphere.Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen estimate that seagrasses have released 32 billion Coke cans-worth of sugar into the soil – at least 80 times more than previously thought.
