How Millions of Mushrooms Could Help Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change
A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Davis has revealed that mushrooms and trees could play a key role in mitigating the effects of a changing climate. The research, which was published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that planting millions of trees and mushrooms could help reduce the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which is one of the biggest contributors to global warming. The researchers believe that these two plants could be used to store and sequester large amounts of carbon, thus helping to reduce the effects of climate change. The study estimates that planting two billion trees and two billion mushrooms could sequester an additional 7.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2033. This is equivalent to the emissions of 1.6 billion cars.
