As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises, tree planting is widely recognized as an effective way to
The ability of plants to absorb carbon is a key factor
The scientists measured biomass grown in air with high carbon dioxide concentrations in several long-term field experiments
"Over time, the elevated carbon dioxide levels in our experiments did not stimulate the total biomass bound to carbon
A more nuanced picture
Other factors that were not previously taken into account are that some trees die, thus stopping absorbing carbon dioxide
"We now know that we humans cannot silence our consciences by planting trees; In the long run, this actually doesn't help
The researchers also warn that actual tree planting could have significant negative effects
The nitrogen content in the soil is crucial
Prior to this, the general theory was that an increase in carbon dioxide concentration led to an increase
"This is not good news, because in the last 20 years alone, carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere have risen from 380 ppm to more than
