Research from University College London (UCL) suggests that the carbon sequestration capacity of UK woodlands is potentially double that of previous estimates.<\/h2>\n
Carbon sequestration occurs in forests by capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turning it into biomass via photosynthesis. The new research infers that UK forests could store around double the amount of carbon that previous calculations suggest, potentially revealing novel ways to combat climate change<\/a>.<\/p>\n
