2000-present ozone pollution causes 17% reduction in carbon capture by tropical forests, primarily impacting Asia with a 10.9% decline in growth.
A study in Nature Geoscience reveals that ozone pollution is hindering tropical forest growth by an average of 5.1%, with Asia facing a 10.9% decline.
Since 2000, this has led to an annual loss of approximately 290 million tonnes of carbon capture, translating to a 17% reduction in carbon removal by these forests.
The research advocates for stronger environmental protection to decrease ozone levels, enhance air quality, and improve carbon uptake in tropical forests.
