Can plants absorb the excess carbon in the atmosphere?

Answer 1

A:In a natural balance, plants absorb as much carbon dioxide (CO2) as animals exhale, keeping the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide at the long-term average of around 260 to 280 parts per million (ppm). Human activities have increased this level to 380 ppm since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, and rising fat. This itself is evidence that plants simply can not absorb the additional carbon dioxide load in the atmosphere. Moreover, our continuing destruction of forests actually reduces the ability of plants to absorb carbon dioxide, and is one important reason for the rising CO2 levels.

Answer 2

Yes, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, converting it into oxygen and glucose. This process helps to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, the capacity of plants to absorb excess carbon is limited by factors like availability of water, sunlight, and nutrients.
