Which Gas is released when branches of trees are decayed or cut?

When plant life decays, it releases carbon dioxide. This does not occur when trees (or their branches) are simply cut. In fact, if the wood can be preserved so that it does not rot, the carbon contained therein will be sequestered indefinitely.

Where was the most damage from hurricane Irene?
The damage of hurricane irene were: flooding,branches/trees down. Ummm.... gas and electric use of power.so yeah...
Does logging effect the global warming?
Yes, trees and plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2, which is a huge greenhouse gas), store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches and release the oxygen. If the trees are no longer present, then the CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, where it adds to the accelerated greenhouse effect. This is causing global warming.
What kind of fossil is oil and natural gas made from?
It uses fossils and decayed bodies of diatoms, which are one-celled organisms that lived in the ancient oceans.
Whats the definition of gas released when trees are burned?
I think its carbon dioxide but i'm not sure
How many trees does Saturn have?
As far as scientists know, Jupiter is made out of a gas and therefore does not have any trees.
What gas decayed from uranium?
This gas is radon (Rn).
Which of these energy sources is formed from decayed and compressed plankton?
Natural Gas
Why is it important for humans to make sure that they don't cut down too many trees?
Because trees remove carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. Through photosynthesis the oxygen is released and the carbon is stored in the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. 50% of a tree's weight is carbon.

Do some goats climb trees to get fruit?
Most goats will climb trees to get to the foliage if they can reach the lower branches.
Briefly describe how petroleum and natural gas form?
Millions of years ago, the remains of plants and animals decayed and built up in thick layers. This decayed matter from more?
How do you reduce global warming with trees?
Trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere using photosynthesis as they are growing. This carbon is stored in the roots and branches of the trees. Because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, by removing it from the atmosphere we are slowing global warming. So the answer to global warming is to plant billions of trees all over the world.
What mineral substance is often used for fuel in Ireland?
The partly decayed substance is vegetation bogs.
How is deforestation adding to the greenhouse effect?
Trees remove carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their trunks and branches. When deforestation happens and the trees are burnt or rot, that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere, and because no more trees are planted, there is no longer anything to remove the CO2. This is how deforestation adds to the greenhouse effect.
What is alike between natural gas and trees?
trees give off a natural gas which is oxygen that helps us breath
Where do you get natural gas from at the moment?
from trees
