Why
Photosynthesis does not always result in wood growth, which is a key factor in carbon dioxide sequestration.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
If photosynthesis does not consistently lead to wood growth, forests' capacity to store carbon over the long term may be overestimated in current climate models, potentially hindering global efforts to combat climate change.
