We all love trees – but in a changing climate trees are now “coughing” CO2!
New science: ‘Trees typically remove CO2 from the air through photosynthesis, using it to grow. However, stressful conditions like high temperatures and limited water supply trigger a reverse process called photorespiration… Trees in warmer, drier climates are essentially coughing instead of breathing. They are sending CO2 right back into the atmosphere.’
