DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air naturally, and trees are especially good at storing CO2 removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.

Detailed explanation-4: -Forests and other land vegetation currently remove up to 30 percent of human carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. If the rate of absorption were to slow down, the rate of global warming would speed up in return.

Detailed explanation-5: -The carbon dioxide a plant absorbs is converted, by photosynthesis, into sugars, some of which are stored within its tissues. Through this process plants act as carbon sinks, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locking it away.
