Throughout the escalating climate change crises, much attention has been given to cleaning up the world's industrial plants.
But, according to researchers at the State University of New York, part of the solution could come from an entirely different kind of plant—trees. Scientists have long known that trees can help us to reduce energy use and clean the air of pollutants and gases we emit into the atmosphere.
But not all trees are created equal.
As part of a research project, students and faculty members at SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry have determined the precise combination of trees that would be most effective in reducing the level of greenhouse gases in the air around Syracuse, NY.
