Infographics
Infographic showing forest and storm overlying underwater cave. Arrow shows stormwater bringing oxygen into the cave as dissolved oxygen. Methane enters cave, oxygen supports the ecosystem and helps microorganisms break down food such as methane. Water flows through the cave, causing less methane to be released into the atmosphere
