New research suggests that plants may be able to absorb more atmospheric CO2 than previously believed, offering hope in combating climate change. The study found that incorporating critical physiological processes in plant modeling resulted in stronger and sustained carbon uptake until the end of the 21st century. However, scientists emphasize the continued importance of reducing emissions, as planting trees alone is not a sufficient solution. The findings highlight the potential of nature-based solutions like reforestation and afforestation in mitigating climate change, but emissions reduction remains crucial.
