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. ....
We have more than almost 1,000 trees that will be weighed here with laser and we found significantly more carbon storage in those trees, almost a factor two. wytham is a typical uk deciduous woodland in terms of the mix of tree species and age. of course, trees do much more thanjust store carbon, but what this study has done is put a whole new measure on the value that s locked into woodland like this. and the researchers say that big, old trees are particularly important. protecting that value that you have in those large, old, mature trees is almost incalculable. so you should avoid losing it at almost any cost. capturing detailed pictures of what s locked inside each tree, the researchers say, reveals just how vital our existing forests are in the fight against climate change. victoria gill, bbc news, wytham wood. i m joined now by susan cook patton who is a senior forest restoration scientist for the ....
Good idea. so, there is one factor which it is good idea. so, there is one factor which it is protected good idea. so, there is one factor which it is protected in good idea. so, there is one factorl which it is protected in inns extend would end. you will, as you said, are interested in creating new woodland two. are there particular types of trees that do this better than others? types of trees that do this better than others? ., ,., , than others? there are some trees that fact did than others? there are some trees that fact did you than others? there are some trees that fact did you grow than others? there are some trees that fact did you grow better - than others? there are some trees that fact did you grow better than i that fact did you grow better than others are faster than others wassup i think what got me really excited about this study is the found all almost over 200 tonnes of carbon per hectare and that is almost tropical forest scale. i am excited by the stud ....
