Forests are vital in combating climate change due to their ability to absorb methane (CHâ‚„), a potent greenhouse gas. Recent studies have revealed that tree bark absorbs significant amounts of methane, making forests crucial methane sinks. This ability enhances the climate benefits of forests, alongside their well-known role in carbon sequestration. Strategic reforestation, sustainable forest management, and conservation efforts are essential to maximize these benefits and mitigate global warming.
