This story was originally published by WIRED and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Schoenoplectus Americanus, or the chairmaker’s bulrush, is a common wetland plant in the Americas, and it has an existential problem. It has chosen to live in a place where it is always at risk of being drowned. Like all plants, the bulrush requires oxygen to produce energy.
