The estimated values vary widely: a<strong>n oak tree can absorb about 73 kg of CO\u2082, while a stone pine stops at 11 kg.<\/strong><br><br>The answer is more complex than it seems. Trees are living organisms, and<strong> the amount of CO\u2082 they absorb depends on multiple factors<\/strong>: the species, the age of the plants from individual characteristics, and the conditions under which they grow. A young tree has a limited uptake capacity, which increases as it develops roots, trunk, branches and leaves. When it reaches adulthood, its larger size allows it to capture significant amounts of CO\u2082.<br><br>The<strong> environmental context also influences<\/strong>. The same species can grow slower or faster depending on climate and soil conditions. For example, in the Alps, because of the harsher climate and less rich soils, for the same species, trees grow more slowly than those growing in the Po Valley. Moreover, trees do not grow indefinitely: in general, the first ten years are the fastest, then growth slows and stabilizes until maturity is reached.<br><br>All this also makes us realize<strong> how important it is to preserve existing forests<\/strong>, where trees are already mature and able to absorb significant amounts of carbon dioxide. Forests remove about a third of the emissions produced by fossil fuels each year. A huge amount, which is exceeded only by the oceans. This figure alone would be enough to make us realize how crucial they are, but there is more.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-285e932\" data-id=\"285e932\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-72681f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"72681f1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-13e6b14\" data-id=\"13e6b14\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-249d0a8\" data-id=\"249d0a8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d44edbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d44edbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wownature.eu\/en\/wow-area\/bosco-limite\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"517\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wownature.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Siccita-Bosco-Limite-WOWnature-1024x517.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-536916\" alt=\"What does drought have to do with floods?
