This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Growing forests can limit climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their biomass as they grow. How much carbon a forest stores varies between tree species, the forests age, weather conditions and how the forest is managed. Young growing forests store a lot of carbon, as th
