Sore throat is a symptom, not a disease. In each case, there was a different cause that dictated a different treatment. The scratchy throat probably was a mechanical problem caused by dry, heated winter air and aggravated by my friend's tendency to breathe through her mouth when she sleeps.
Definition. Carbon-storing natural feature (such as a forest or the land mass) that exchanges carbon with other reservoirs. A reservoir from which no outflow of carbon compounds takes place is called carbon sink.
As a result, wetlands are very good carbon sinks (meaning they store a lot of carbon). In summary, coastal wetlands are particularly good at storing carbon because the plants annually sequester (capture) a lot of carbon and then these ecosystems store carbon for long periods of time in their soils.
