Researchers at UCI warn that climate change itself may limit the ecosystem’s ability to perform this critical service.

UCI Earth scientists say that rising temperatures and uncertain precipitation will cause a decrease in California’s natural carbon storage capacity, which may make the 2045 carbon neutrality goal impossible to achieve.
