Previously, researchers believed that recovering logged tropical forests were carbon absorbers as the new trees grow quickly. However, in a new study, led by Imperial College London researchers, it has been revealed that these tropical forests are actually a carbon source, as carbon released by soil and rotting wood outpaces the carbon absorbed by new growth.<\/p>\n
