A large-scale study proves that trees absorb methane through their bark, with climate benefits at a global scale.
The 390-million-year-old forest landscape, archived within the Eifelian Hangman Sandstone Formation of Somerset and Devon in England, is roughly 4 million years older than the previous record holder.
A recent report by the Agriculture Department has made an alarming revelation: by 2070, US forests may switch roles from being carbon absorbers to significant carbon emitters.
An area of forest the size of France has regrown naturally across the world in the last 20 years, a study suggests. The restored forests have the potential to soak up the equivalent of 5.9 gigatonnes of CO2.
