Some carbon dioxide absorbed by fig trees gets turned into calcium carbonate within the wood and the surrounding soil, ...

Some species of fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone, new ...

We all know that trees are an important part of our climate efforts. But we usually envision this as lush forests soaking up ...

Scientists discovered that fig trees in Kenya can store carbon dioxide as calcium carbonate rocks inside their trunks and ...

Some fig trees can convert atmospheric CO2 into calcium carbonate, a process known as the oxalate carbonate pathway, ...

In a surprising twist of nature, certain fig trees in Kenya are doing more than just bearing fruit—they’re capturing carbon ...

The team of Kenyan, U.S., Austrian, and Swiss scientists found that the trees could draw carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it as calcium carbonate 'rocks' in the surrounding soil.

When the carbon in some trees is turned into calcium carbonate, it increases the soil pH around the tree. The researchers say that this form of inorganic carbon could be a major help for C02 ...

One effective way to keep your fruit trees healthy is to support their soil. Healthy soil provides essential nutrients and ...
