Paluu Papyrus-kaislojen taa - Sun sets behind the Papyrus reeds

.
Aurinko laskee Papyrus -kaislojen (Cyperus papyrus) ja Tana-järven taakse Bahir Darissa.
 
Sun sets behind Papyrys reeds (Cyperus papyrus) and lake Tana in Bahir Dar.

Papyrus swamps have the potential to sequester large amounts of the carbon (1.6 kg C m-2 y-1) when detritus accumulates under water in anaerobic conditions, but they are a net source of carbon release to the atmosphere (1.0 kg C m-2 y-1) when water levels fall to expose detritus and rhizomes to aerobic conditions (Jones et al.)
