📝New research in Nature Portfolio suggests that trees are even better at sequestering atmospheric greenhouse gasses than we previously thought! Here’s how 👉 Scientists discovered that in addition to trees sequestering carbon dioxide via photosynthesis, microbes in tree bark absorb atmospheric methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, responsible for 30% of global warming since the pre-industrial era. These findings underscore the importance of investing in nature-based solutions to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.
