Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis. They remove and store the carbon and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere. A forest of trees is thus called a carbon sink.

Why does cutting down trees increase carbon dioxide?

Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.


How could cutting down trees lead to the build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. When trees are cut down and not replaced, this carbon dioxide is no longer absorbed, leading to an increase in its levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, when trees are burnt or decompose, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Why do trees suck in carbon dioxide?

Trees absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis to produce energy and grow. They use the carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and release oxygen as a byproduct. This process helps to remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in the tree's biomass.
