Climate change causing trees to become gluttons


New Delhi, Oct 04 (ANI): Trees protect humans from the harshest effects of climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; but, new research indicates just how much carbon the woods have been stockpiling. he study, published recently in the journal Nature Communications, discovers that higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have boosted the wood volume – or biomass – of forests in the United States. Although other factors such as climate and pests can have an impact on a tree’s volume, the study discovered that increased carbon levels consistently resulted in an increase in wood volume in 10 different temperate forest groups across the country. This shows that trees’ rapid growth is helping to protect the Earth’s ecology from the effects of global warming.
