Role of Trees in Climate Change Mitigation
Trees play a positive role in mitigation of climate change by absorbing methane in the air.
According to research results, trees can absorb up to 10% of methane in the air.
Researches also indicate that rain forests and broadleaf trees in the temperate zones and tropical forests can absorb more methane than needle-leaf trees in the northern zone.
Planting trees and conservation of forests play a very important role in the climate change mitigation and are the best choice to reduce the global amount of methane.
