Like Humans, Forest Also Has a Right To Live

As Humans, Forest has a right to live as they want. Forests were on fast diet called carbon dioxide which helps them to grow faster and longer. The researchers of West Virginia University along with the international team of scientist found that the forest growth may reach its peak as the trees deplete nitrogen in the soil over longer growing season.

Tress, like human they need one more thing in the diet Mc Neil said that the challenge is to restore the balanced diet by cutting back and make use of fossil fuel. Carbon Dioxide is everywhere in the atmosphere and that's the raw material that tree needs to convert into the sugar which they use to grow he said “what is profound is that all the plants grow faster and tends to slow down the climate change”. As he explained “the plants of the world can't do that forever”.

In the paper published “Nature Ecology and Evolution” Mc Neil and 40 international researchers said that the territorial ecosystems are seeing decreasing nitrogen isotopes in foliage on a global scale. It adds to the global 2017 paper that Mc Neil was a part of another team that use nitrogen isotopes in tree rings to find the evidence for declining nitrogen in the forests across United States. His work is continued with the team of WVU Honors College undergraduate students, graduate students, as well as Edward Brzostek in the Department of Biology, and Nicolas Zegre in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design.

In an area of about six feet football fields in the summit Bechtel Reserve Scout Camp, the research team is taking an enormous tree census that will provide a baseline for long-term study of tree growth in a changed climate.
