"Climate Change's Impact on Global Forest Carbon Sequestration"
A new study reveals that climate change is disproportionately affecting U.S. forests, particularly in the West, leading to decreased tree growth and challenging their role as carbon sinks. The study highlights the urgent need for greenhouse gas emission reductions and forest conservation to address the impact of climate change on forest health and carbon sequestration. The findings emphasize the regional disparities in forest productivity and the dynamic influence of climate change on forests, underscoring the need for urgent action to mitigate emissions and preserve forest ecosystems.
