Forests Become Cash Cows as Carbon Tax Boosts Tree Growth
The article discusses how to use trees to capture carbon and combat climate change. By giving subsidies to encourage more trees to be grown, we can increase carbon sequestration in US forests. The researchers studied tree growth, market values, and costs to see how effective this subsidy could be. They found that with the right incentives, more trees could be grown per acre, leading to greater carbon sequestration. This approach could help meet carbon reduction targets set by the government in the future.
