"Climate Warming Threatens Trees' Carbon Sequestration Abilities"

A new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that climate change is reducing the effectiveness of trees to filter carbon dioxide, particularly in warmer and drier climates, due to increased photorespiration. This could lead to trees releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, exacerbating global warming. The impact on trees' ability to mitigate carbon dioxide levels underscores the urgent need to address climate change and its effects on the environment.
