Tropical forests absorb more carbon dioxide than expected – Zeus News – Olympus Computer

The increase in emissions accelerates the growth of forests.

The nickname “lungs of the planet” assigned to forests in general and to the great Tropical forests in particular is perhaps even more appropriate than previously thought.

A recent research conducted by NASA scientists has discovered that its tropical forests absorb more carbon dioxide than previously thought.

According to the study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a total of 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide absorbed, 1.4 billion tons are absorbed by the tropical forests.

“This is good news because the absorption by the boreal forest is already slowing, while tropical forests can continue to absorb carbon dioxide for many years,” says David Schimel, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA.

Overall, 30% of anthropogenic emissions of CO ₂ is absorbed by plants through photosynthesis.

The increase in carbon dioxide emissions from human activities is used from the forests to grow faster, thus reducing the amount of CO ₂ which remains in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is more intense if the temperatures are higher, so it occurs to a greater extent in the tropics than in boreal forests.

This study is the result of monitoring conducted by NASA carbon dioxide thanks to satellites.
