Plants are slowing climate change, but can’t stop it: study

Plants are slowing climate change, but can’t stop it: study

Thursday, December 9, 2021 3:53 AM GMT

A new study has found that plants have responded to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by ramping up photosynthesis, which can slow climate change, but not stop it.

According to the study, which was published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, global photosynthesis increased by 12 per cent between 1982 and 2020, while global carbon dioxide concentrations grew by 17 per cent.

“This is a very large increase in photosynthesis, but it’s nowhere close to removing the amount of carbon dioxide we’re putting into the atmosphere,” environmental scientist and lead author Trevor Keenan said in a press release. “It’s not stopping climate change by any means, but it is helping us slow it down.”

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to create oxygen and their own food. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human activity has long been linked to global climate change.

The international team of researchers behind the study was led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley in California, with support from NASA and the U.S. government’s Department of Energy. They were able to assess changing global photosynthesis rates by comparing historical estimates and satellite imagery with models of how carbon is exchanged between the atmosphere and land.
