The climate is warmer, causing soil to emit more CO2

Xinhua cited the latest research by Finnish scientists, saying that warmer climate is the cause of increased CO2 emissions in the soil.

A report by the Institute of Research and Finland's Helsinki University said scientists have discovered that organic carbon is particularly sensitive to climate change. In a situation where the demand and climate are getting warmer, CO ₂ emissions in the soil also increase and exceed the amount of CO2 absorbed by trees.

Earlier some scientists have evaluated plants' ability to absorb CO2 through predictive methods.

Based on the previous estimate, from a theoretical point of view, if the growth rate of forest trees is 70% to 80%, they can absorb more CO2 than the CO2 emitted. from the soil.

However, the latest research by Finnish scientists shows that the growth rate of forest trees must be as high as 100-120% to be able to achieve the effectiveness as previously studied.

Finnish scientists recommend that relevant agencies scrutinize the trend of increasing carbon dioxide emissions in the soil when making predictions about climate change, thereby giving policies to cope with suitable climate change and an extensive assessment to take measures to restore devastating climate change forests.
