Young Forests Can Store Enormous Amounts of Carbon
2016-05-20 13:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Woodland areas that regrow after forest fires, logging operations or other disturbances can sequester huge amounts of carbon dioxide and they play an unexpectedly valuable role in mitigating climate change, according to a study by 60 scientists from across the globe. The research, published Friday in the journal Science Advances, is the first to quantify how much carbon these so-called second-growth forests can sequester, and it turns out it's huge. The scientists found that over the span of 40...

Hurricanes Boost Carbon Storage in Southeastern Forests
2016-05-20 13:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Hurricanes hitting the Southeast coast can supercharge the region's forests, spurring them to store more than 100 times the carbon released annually by all vehicles in the U.S., Duke University researchers have found. Rainfall associated with hurricanes acts as fuel for photosynthesis, drastically increasing trees' carbon absorption rates, according to a recent study published in the journal Biogeosciences. Forests hit by tropical cyclones account for 9 percent of the warm season forest carbon...
