Mangrove trees excel at doing what?
A Capturing carbon
B Spreading nutrients
C Growing nuts in every season
Recent studies show that mangrove forests capture up to 10 times more carbon dioxide than tropical forests do. They also store more carbon in their roots than land-based trees. These so-called ‘blue carbon’ protections are prompting efforts in many coastal areas to grow more mangrove forests.
The correct answer is Capturing carbon.
