Old trees increase carbon capture capacities

A forest consisting of old oak trees has been subjected to carbondiokside levels over normal for seven years. More carbon dioxide pills were observed by expanding body areas across these changes of trees. The researchers hope that the study published in Nature Climate Change reveals the importance of protection of old forests in the fight against climate change. A football field size in six seconds in the world is estimated to be lost. Professor Rob MacKenzie, Director of Birmingham Forest Studies Institute and writers of work, says "I think that this is a promising and positive example" and continues: "This is a finding that shows that built-in forests should be carefully managed. Old forests are doing a very important job for us. We definitely need to cut them. The results of the study are part of the study at Birmingham University Free-Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment (Serbest Air Carbondioxide Enrichment-FACE) that Prof. MacKenzie has been founded in 2016. FACE is carried out in a forest of 52 acres in Staffordshire, west of the UK. The aim is to monitor the impact of changing climate on forestry areas in real time.

There are 180 years of oak tree in the field of orientation]
Experts placed a pipe network between trees up to 40 meters. These pipes multiply carbon dioxide into the forest every day. Experts are trying to create conditions that may face the world if there are no measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions here. The team of international researchers working in FACE as a result of 7 years of observations found that high amounts of carbon dioxide from oak trees become more productive. It was observed carbon dioxide pill by expanding the body of trees by about 10 percent. Trees can use it in different ways when they pull carbon dioxide from the air. Leaf and stem production are evaluated as a short-term carbon dioxide storage method because the leaves are poured or swing into the carbon re atmosphere when new roots die. However, experts see that the trees in the forest have expanded their body and become able to store carbon dioxide for years. [

Recent research shows that young trees can also increase carbon dioxide absorption rates. But until now the old forests were not capable of adapting the same. Prof. Rob MacKenzie says that it is important to understand how old trees behave, most of the tree cover in the world create old treey areas and forests. Although the results are positive, MacKenzie says "This is definitely not a magic wand for our fossil fuel lets us say," and continues as follows: "We have absolutely no way to create foresty space until we continue to burn fossil fuel with our current speed in the world." The duration of the research was extended to 2031. Researchers will continue to monitor them to see if these behavior of trees will not continue. Dr. Dr, one of the authors of professor and study at Tennessee University in USA. Richard Norby, "FACE is very important to continue because we know the reactions may change in time. Longer-term data increases our trust with results. The researchers also hope to look at the effects of high carbon dioxide levels on other creatures such as life and insects. While conducting this experiment, scientists say they observe an increase in some types of insects that may be a result of different weather conditions.
