Some fig trees can convert atmospheric CO2 into calcium carbonate, a process known as the oxalate carbonate pathway, ...

The loss of snow cover in temperate forests is set to slow their growth and reduce their ability to remove carbon from the ...

Scientists discovered that fig trees in Kenya can store carbon dioxide as calcium carbonate rocks inside their trunks and ...

The study, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, analyzed 1,207 tree species across 271 forest plots in six Brazilian regions, ranging from the Amazon Rainforest to the Atlantic Forest, all ...

Living trees absorb carbon, aiding climate change mitigation. But what role do dead trees play in carbon storage? UVM researchers found that large, downed trees in streams tie up tremendous stores ...

Trees in tropical forests are dying at an increased rate, with consequences for biodiversity, carbon storage, and the global ...

Forest-based carbon-offset projects need a buffer to guarantee their climate benefits will last – but they may not have ...

These trees have a greater potential for biomass accumulation and carbon sequestration. They are large, dense-wooded, and slower-growing trees,” Leal Ramos says.

Tree diversity increases storage of carbon and nitrogen in forest soils, mitigating climate change. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 04 ...

In a large-scale study with almost 400 partners, ... New study on the importance of tree leaves for carbon dioxide storage. I would like to subscribe to Science X Newsletter.

A typical large tree can suck as much as 40 kilograms of carbon dioxide out of the air over the course of a year. Now scientists at UC Berkeley say they can do the same job with less than half a ...

In this case, faster-growing trees, with softer wood, tend to prevail over denser species with a higher carbon-storage capacity. In 2023, about 3.7 million hectares (8.14 million acres) of primary ...
