Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as the forest gets older the carbon sequestration capacity decreases. When trees are f
