Abstract:Researchers are very concerned about addressing or managing the growing problem of global warming or climate change. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide (CO2) alone contributes 60%. By absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis and naturally storing it as biomass, trees serve as a sink for CO2 because trees have the ability to store carbon and can lessen the effects of climate change and global warming, planting trees or restoring forests may be a solution to this gr… Show more
