Bristen på fosfor i skogens mark kan leda till att de globala klimatförändringarna ökar. Det visar ny forskning som har undersökt en komplex balans mellan koldioxidgödning, fosforbrist och trädtillväxt. Världens skogar är viktiga i kampen mot klimatförändringar eftersom skogarna tar upp ungefär en fjärdedel av de växthusgaser som släpps ut i atmosfären. Träden behöver kolatomerna för att kunna väx

Enligt ny forskning riskerar nordliga torvmarker att spela en större roll i framtida klimatförändringar än vad man tidigare trott. Studien visar att stora områden med torvmarker kan börja släppa ut koldioxid redan vid mitten av 2100-talet. Hittills har torvmarker främst betraktats som en naturmiljö som kan dämpa klimatproblemen tack vare att torven lagrar enorma mängder koldioxid från atmosfären.
