Long-Term Atmospheric CO2 Data Show Increase in Carbon Absorption by Northern Hemisphere Vegetation

Based on long-standing data on atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, an international team of researchers coordinated by the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences (CEA/CNRS/UVSQ) have found that vegetation in the Northern Hemisphere is capturing increasing quantities of the CO2 generated by human activities, thus partially counterbalancing the effects of global warming.

Study Shows How Peru’s Rainforest Conservation Efforts can Become More Effective

In an effort to protect the rainforest, the Peruvian government had introduced a program several years ago. Conversely, a recent analysis carried out by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn has demonstrated that its impact is negligible. However, the investigators also have some good news—the effectiveness can possibly be increased by three measures.
