Breakthrough algorithm maximizes forest carbon capture, revolutionizing sustainable forestry practices.
The article explores how to calculate how much carbon trees absorb to help forest managers. Researchers analyzed forests in Huitong County, China, focusing on Chinese fir trees. They created a model to plan how to maximize carbon absorption from these trees. By using linear programming, they identified that cutting down trees aged 25-30 years led to the best carbon sequestration outcome. The study highlighted that the management plan needs adjusting based on forest factors.
