Some Fig Trees Can Turn CO2 Into Stone - A Hidden Talent That Could Combat Climate Change
While all trees can mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, a few have another trick up their sleeve that allows them to turn CO2 into stone. Recent research has shown that certain ...
Some fig trees can convert atmospheric CO2 into calcium carbonate, a process known as the oxalate carbonate pathway, effectively turning CO2 into stone. The process of carbon sequestration allows fig ...
