Natural systems in North America retain some resilience for CO2 uptake

phys.org How will a warming world impact the Earth's ability to offset our carbon emissions?

As the world heats up due to climate change, how much can we continue to depend on plants and soils to help alleviate some of our self-inflicted damage by removing carbon pollution from the atmosphere?

How will a warming world impact the Earth's ability to offset our carbon emissions?

CDR approaches that rely on creating biomass remain viable for now. Increasing mature forests, increasing agricultural land's carbon content through improved farming techniques and biochar addition, increasing protection and expanding coastal wetlands, and storing biomass to reduce decomposition - these are all good biomass alternatives we should evaluate.
