Tree facts you should know about

How do trees sequester carbon, and how to calculate?

 

Trees sequester carbon by capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere and transforming it into biomass through photosynthesis. During this process, trees convert CO₂ and sunlight into energy, which is essential for their growth and sustenance. The sequestered carbon accumulates in the form of biomass, which includes all the organic material that makes up a tree’s physical structure—a tangible indicator of its growth.
