Today humanity produces more than 1,400 tons of carbon every minute. To combat climate change, we need to reduce fossil fuel emissions, and draw down excess CO2 to restore the balance of greenhouse gases. Like all plants, trees consume atmospheric carbon through photosynthesis. So what can trees do to help in this fight Jean-François Bastin digs into the efforts to restore depleted ecosystems.
今天,人类每分钟产生超过1400吨的碳。为了应对气候变化,我们需要减少化石燃料的排放,并吸取多余的二氧化碳,以恢复温室气体的平衡。像所有植物一样,树木通过光合作用消耗大气中的碳。那么,在这场斗争中,树木能做些什么?让-弗朗索瓦-巴斯丁对恢复枯竭的生态系统的努力进行了挖掘。
