Is stored in trees in a wood in oxfordshire, suggests there s almost twice as much locked into british forests as previously thought. researchers used 3d scanners to get the results and say it s more evidence of the importance of woodland areas, in combating climate change. here s our science correspondent, victoria gill. even in the cold quiet of winter, this woodland is revealing scientific secrets. we re doing a six hectare area. researchers are weighing the trees here in wytham wood in oxfordshire, using a laser scanning technique that measures each tree in fine detail. but you can really see that we capture the full 3d structure of these trees. each laser scanned point is a dot on a three dimensional map of a tree, and that s converted into a solid model. this is the measure of each tree s volume, which scientists can use to calculate the amount of carbon that s locked into every inch of trunk and branch. this one was about 25 tonnes, of which about half of that will be carbon. ....
