New research shows plants absorb 31% more CO2 than previously estimated, raising the global GPP to 157 petagrams per year. Using carbonyl sulfide as a proxy for photosynthesis, this study highlights tropical rainforests’ critical role as carbon sinks and stresses the importance of accurate photosynthesis modeling for climate predictions. A new assessment by scientists reveals … Continue reading Scientists Were Wrong: Plants Absorb 31% More CO2 Than Previously Thought
