carbon sink
The project is forecast to sequester more than ten million tonnes of carbon dioxide over 20 years
The burning of vegetation will be banned in sites of ‘special scientific interest’, in ‘conservation’ and ‘special protection’ areas
It will help to significantly reduce nitrogen deposition to land and in turn help reduce damage to peat bogs, which are an important carbon sink, thereby helping to tackle climate change
That’s the suggestion from Friends of the Earth, which has analysed unpublished Forestry Commission data and found there is sufficient suitable land for an additional 3.2 million hectares of trees in addition to existing woodland
The plant absorbs carbon 35 times quicker than rainforest but up to 92% of the UK’s seagrass has been destroyed in the last century
A new report suggests the carefully managed landscapes should be rewilded to support biodiversity and store carbon
New research suggests rather than all rivers being sources of carbon emissions, some can actually act as carbon sinks
The local authority plans to plant thousands of new trees in a bid to tackle climate change
Bolton Fell and Walton Mosses will in time capture and store carbon to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere
The nation expects the scheme will help remove 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year by 2030
