Summary:
- The study suggests that "tree burial" - the process of burying dead trees to store carbon - could be an effective strategy to help meet the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
- Researchers found that burying dead trees could sequester up to 10 times more carbon than leaving them to decompose on the forest floor, with the potential to store up to 2 billion tons of carbon per year globally.
- The study highlights the need for further research and policy support to develop tree burial as a scalable and sustainable carbon capture and storage solution to mitigate climate change.
