A tree takes in CO2, It gives off O2 or oxygen during daylight. The process is called photosynthesis.
During the night a tree's life processes create carbon dioxide.
The making of glucose from CO2 using sunlight is called photosynthesis. The breaking down of glucose and release of CO2 is respiration.
The tree species that absorbs the most CO2 from the atmosphere is the Australian Eucalyptus tree.
Yes, composting releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere as organic matter breaks down.
The type of tree that is most effective at absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere is the oak tree.
An oak tree can absorb about 48 pounds of CO2 in a year.
The process by which organisms release CO2 into the atmosphere is called respiration. This is a natural biological process in which organisms break down organic compounds to obtain energy, producing CO2 as a byproduct.
Tamarind trees, like other plants, absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis, but they also release CO2 through respiration. They can emit more CO2 if they are growing rapidly, as they require more energy, leading to increased respiration. Additionally, if the tree is aged or in decline, it may release more CO2 than it absorbs, particularly if it decomposes or if its leaves fall off. However, in general, healthy tamarind trees contribute positively to carbon sequestration.
When forests are cut down, the trees release the carbon they have stored into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). This process, known as deforestation, contributes to the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is a major factor in climate change.
Yes, compost releases carbon dioxide (CO2) during the decomposition process as organic matter breaks down.
Trees primarily absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) during photosynthesis, where they convert it into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. However, they also release CO2 back into the atmosphere through respiration, a process occurring 24/7. During respiration, trees break down glucose for energy, releasing CO2 as a byproduct. Additionally, when trees die or decompose, they further contribute to CO2 emissions as organic matter breaks down.
The plant that consumes the most CO2 is the giant sequoia tree.
An acre of trees generally is considered to be the equivalent of .1586546 metric tons of CO2. Generally the formula goes "acres of land = Metric tons of CO2 x 6.303"
