Faster wood formation matters more than longer growing seasons in a warming climate
In non-tropical forests, cold winters hinder tree growth. There, climate warming prolongs the period during which trees absorb carbon through photosynthesis and store it in wood, known as the growing season. This could potentially mitigate further climate change as wood formation and carbon storage increases. But is this really the case?
