Burying Wood Debris Can Help Slow Global Warming, Study Shows
Professor Ning Zeng co-authored new research on a simple way to capture carbon dioxide, a planet-warming gas.
Taking carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere is essential for slowing global warming, but current methods can be costly or technically challenging. In the quest for alternatives, a research team including a University of Maryland climate scientist identified a low-tech solution with significant potential: burying wood debris that might otherwise be left to rot, a process that releases CO2 back into the atmosphere.
