Detailed explanation-1: -Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.
Detailed explanation-2: -Over one year a mature tree will take up about 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and in exchange release oxygen. Each year, 1.3 million trees are estimated to remove more than 2500 tonnes of pollutants from the air.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ranging from 41.9% to 51.6%, they conclude that the average is just over 47.4% carbon in the wood.
Detailed explanation-4: -A carbon sink absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The ocean, soil and forests are the world’s largest carbon sinks.
