Tree Research

Many of the questions coming out of the first phase of work were around planting and managing forests, types of trees, and carbon capture of different species. A summary of good articles on these topics.

Trees: Our Mental, Physical, Climate Change Antidote
Older article, but great story on the impact from a single tree.

To date, it shows Ignace’s {single} tree has stored 22,049 pounds of carbon dioxide or CO2, one of the main greenhouse gases that is warming our planet. That’s the amount of carbon released by 1,100 gallons of gas burned in an average car.

Planting a mix of tree species ‘could double’ forest carbon storage
Forests containing several tree species could store twice as much carbon as the average monoculture plantation, research finds.
