Climate Change Threatens Global Forest Carbon Sequestration

Climate change is reshaping forests differently across the United States, according to a new analysis of U.S. Forest Service data. With rising temperatures, escalating droughts, wildfires, and disease outbreaks taking a toll on trees, researchers warn that the ability of forests to sequester carbon is at risk. This has significant implications for global efforts to mitigate climate change and underscores the urgent need for action to protect and preserve our forests.

Protecting our forests is crucial in the fight against climate change

Forests play a vital role in the Earth's carbon cycle, absorbing and storing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, the impacts of climate change are putting this important function at risk. By understanding how climate change is affecting forests and taking proactive measures to address these challenges, we can help safeguard the health of our planet and ensure a more sustainable future for generations to come.
