How Forests Offset Climate Change and Its Impacts
1 Carbon Sequestration: Trees are carbon sinks, meaning that they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. In the process, CO2 is converted into organic carbon sequestered in biomass and underground in roots and soil. As a result, forests are significant carbon sinks; absorbing more CO2 than they release. Long-term capacity Long-lived carbon, stored in…
