Trees absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, removing greenhouse gas from atmosphere. Absorption rates vary by species, age, and climate.

  1. 1Mature hardwood trees absorb 20-48 kg CO₂/year on average
  2. 2Young trees absorb less; mature trees at peak absorption
  3. 3Total lifetime absorption: one mature tree ≈ 20-30 tonnes CO₂

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
100 mature trees, average 30 kg CO₂/tree/year
ଫଳ
3 tonnes CO₂ absorbed annually
Meaningful but modest offset

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Over-estimating tree absorption capacity
  • Planting trees in marginal soils with poor survival

How many trees offset a person's carbon footprint?

Typical person generates 4-16 tonnes CO₂/year; requires 100-500+ trees for complete offset.

Do trees absorb carbon forever?

No, carbon stored until tree dies. Forest management extends storage; sustainably harvested wood maintains benefit.
