One positive impact of global warming is increasing the capacity of trees and vegetation in the reservoirs of carbon dioxide. A study dipimipin by Jerry Melillo of the Marine Biological Laboratory, the United States indicate that.

In summary, published research article in the publication of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences recently, said that the warming climate has also stimulated the capture of carbon dioxide at the plant in greater numbers. According to the researchers, the increasing number of carbon absorbed when plants perform photosynthesis process that caused more nitrogen that allows it to be made ​​in the warmer soil temperature conditions.

So far, Melillo said, the trees that exist in the United States are generally very limited content of nitrogen. "We found that the warming (global) has been trapped nitrogen compounds in the form of organic nitrogen in the soil, to be released as inorganic compounds. When trees absorb inorganic nitrogen, the growth will be faster and hold more carbon," he explained.

He added that the balance of the amount of carbon in forest ecosystems for the coming decades, when the phenomenon of climate change also occurs, will depend on various other factors. "For example, water availability, the effect of increasing temperature for photosynthesis and respiration, and carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere," he said.
