01Soil and sediment are more capable of absorbing carbon dioxide than trees

According to Agence France Presse, a recent study has shown that compared to trees, soil, river sediments, and dead vegetation store more carbon dioxide emitted by human activities, overturning the traditional understanding of the Earth's carbon storage methods.


Researchers indicate that the increase in carbon storage on land is mainly reflected in non living substances such as soil and dead wood, rather than living organisms such as plants. Compared to living plants, these non living carbon pools can remain stable for a longer period of time, therefore, the overall carbon storage capacity on land is considered more persistent and reliable than previous estimates. This discovery has significant implications for future climate policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving technologies for capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
