Young Trees Absorb More Co2 at Peggy Cathy blog

Young Trees Absorb More Co2. From protecting standing forests to planting new trees, forests offer significant climate mitigation benefits. While young forests tend to absorb more carbon overall because trees can be crowded together when they’re small, a tree’s carbon absorption rate accelerates as it ages. Research shows younger trees store more carbon. Now, new research shows that letting forests regrow on their own. Younger plants are able to extract carbon from the air and incorporate it into their biomass more quickly than mature trees. Thanks to their ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, forests have long been recognized as a key tool in the. The capacity of the forest to. Those young patches of trees may take up co₂ more strongly than the older patches they replace, but this is more than countered by the increased rate of death. In its reasoning, the trade group cites a 2016 study, part of a body of research that has found that younger forests absorb carbon from the air at a faster rate than older ones. Forests store vast quantities of carbon and play a huge role in the world’s carbon cycle—as well as in human hopes of mitigating global warming. The increasing proportion of young trees showing greater growth reduction to drought raises concern on future carbon storage.

Planting a mix of tree species ‘could double’ forest carbon storage
