How do trees help combat climate change?

Transcript

Trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, thereby storing carbon in their biomass and soil. It is noted that 'trees are the ultimate carbon storage machines' and can lock up significant amounts of carbon, with one hectare capable of storing up to 400 tons of carbon. Moreover, forests maintain biodiversity, which is crucial for their longevity and effectiveness in carbon sequestration. However, tree planting must be carefully managed to avoid creating monocultures that can be less resilient.
