| Description: | North American forests appear to have a greater capacity to soak up heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas than researchers had previously anticipated. As a result, they could help slow the pace of human-caused climate warming more than most scientists had thought, a University of Michigan ecologist Donald Zak and his colleagues have concluded.
