NASA study suggests carbon content of temperate forests overestimated

NASA study suggests carbon content of temperate forests overestimated Greenbelt MD (SPX) Nov 25, 2015 - Digital measurements of millions of trees indicate that previous studies likely overestimate the amount of carbon stored by temperate U.S. forests, according to a new NASA study. The findings could help scientists better understand the impact that trees have on the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
