Met de juiste bomenmix CO2 reduceren

"Throughout the escalating climate change crises, much attention has been given to cleaning up the world's industrial plants. But, according to researchers at the State University of New York, part of the solution could come from an entirely different kind of plant-trees. Scientists have long known that trees can help us to reduce energy use and clean the air of pollutants and gases we emit into the atmosphere. But not all trees are created equal. As part of a research project, students and faculty members at SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry have determined the precise combination of trees that would be most effective in reducing the level of greenhouse gases in the air around Syracuse, NY."

" If the recommended combination of trees were planted, it could reduce CO2 by 2 percent by the year 2046, the team believes. But the potential impact of an optimal urban forest is far greater in cities that are warmer than Syracuse and have a faster rate of growth. For instance, in Atlanta, trees could make a "tremendous" impact on greenhouse gaslevels, Smardon said, potentially reducing carbon dioxide levels by 5 to 10 percent."
