Research published to Frontiers in Forests and Global Change offers the most comprehensive and detailed evidence to date that forests are more important to the climate – both globally and locally – than we think due to the way in which they physically transform the atmosphere.

A new report from the federal agency found that even if greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stabilize, climate change will drastically alter Australia’s environment. It’s hard to pin individual storms on climate change, but the science is clear that atmospheric warming leads to more events like last weekend’s rainfall.

In addition to sopping up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, old-growth forests may be better at adapting to a changing environment than younger forests. That’s nearly double the amount stored by midwestern forests and a quarter more than forests in the Northeast. But, why is that? The tool categorizes areas by landowner type.

South America is home to the largest biodiverse rainforests on Earth. This is equivalent to a rainforest the size of the United Kingdom [3]. Replacing these massive carbon sink forests with machinery which continuously pumps vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is increasing the rate of global warming.

On side B we all have all the carbon removed from the atmosphere by forests, soil and wetlands. Suriname is 93% rainforest. If we were to imagine a set of scales, on side A we have all the carbon emitted by energy, industry, transport, etc. Bhutan has been prioritising its forests for 50 years. Another factor is low population density.

Environmental and atmospheric conditions are perfectly balanced in these locations, leaving trees with only one thing left to compete for – light. However, more greenhouse gases escaping into the atmosphere could enable Redwoods to grow quicker. Increasing its concentration in the atmosphere could result in better growth.
