Why do trees store CO2 more efficiently than smaller shrubs and grasses?
Please give a thumbs up.
The trees are more efficient in storing the carbon dioxide then
small plants and grass.
This is mainly because the trees consume more carbon dioxide
compared to small plants in the first place. After using the
received carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and other processes this
gas is stored by converting it into plant matter. this gas, as
plant matter, is stored in wooden branches and trunk in the trees
which are massive in size. whereas in small plants it is only
stored in leaves and tender branches.
So simply putting it trees have a large body to take and store
sufficient carbon-dioxide efficiently whereas grass and small
plants do not.
