Do Mature Trees Absorb Co2 at Zoe Holland blog

Do Mature Trees Absorb Co2. The leaves of growing trees absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide, releasing oxygen and locking up the carbon until the tree eventually dies and, decays, or is burnt. In one year, a mature live tree can absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide, which is permanently stored in its fibers until the tree or wood experiences a physical event. Although the carbon absorption capacity can vary, it is generally considered that a tree can store about 167 kg of co2 per year, or 1 ton of co2 per year for 6 mature trees. Trees are the ultimate carbon capture and storage machines. Some of the carbon from falling leaves enters the woodland soil and is stored there for the long term, making the entire woodland ecosystem an important carbon store. This means that more than 67 trees would have to be planted a year to offset the co2 emissions of a single brit. Like great carbon sinks, woods and forests. However, new evidence suggests that mature forests have limited ability to absorb additional carbon as atmospheric co 2 emissions. 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.
