Native forests sink more carbon than expected, inverse modeling reveals
A study has found New Zealand's native forests are absorbing more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought. Study leader, NIWA atmospheric scientist Dr. Beata Bukosa says the findings could have implications for New Zealand's greenhouse gas reporting, carbon credit costs, and climate and land-use policies. The research was published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
