#Africa Savanna grasses are eaten, decompose and burn, returning much of the carbon in their leaves and stems to the atmosphere. Long-term carbon storage in grasslands occurs mainly below ground, particularly in soils, and our review of experiments found no consistent increase in the amount of roots under higher CO₂ levels. We therefore cannot conclude that the extra grass growth we observed offsets global warming https://eastleighvoice.co.ke/climate-change/407799/rising-co2-is-making-african-savanna-grasses-grow-more-what-it-means-for-grazing-fire-and-carbon-storage #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #environment #climate
