A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees

Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid landscapes occupying the transition zone between rainforest and desert dominate th
