Comparative Assessment of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Absorption Capacities in Selected Tree Species of Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) and Control Plot at Tekam Forest Reserve, Pahang

Abstract

The absorption of carbon dioxide (CO₂) by trees through photosynthesis is crucial for the Earth's carbon cycle and mitigating climate change. Rising CO₂ levels present significant environmental challenges, leading researchers to investigate the carbon sequestration capacities of various tree species. This knowledge is vital for effective forest management and climate change mitigation. By understanding how different tree species absorb CO₂ , strategies can be developed to enhance carbon sequestration, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to contribute to this understanding by examining specific interactions between tree species and their environment.
