Partially logged rainforests could be emitting more carbon than previously thought

2015-04-28 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

Living trees take in carbon dioxide whereas dead and decaying ones release it. Understanding the proportion of both is important for determining whether a large area of forest is a source of carbon dioxide, or a 'sink' that helps to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Forestry, agriculture and land-use …
