What are the most effective carbon sinks on Earth? The forests and the sea. Carbon absorbed by forests is called green carbon, and carbon absorbed by the sea is called blue carbon. In forests, trees absorb carbon and grow. In the oceans, carbon is mainly absorbed by plankton, coral and other organisms, becoming calcium carbonate.
Among the two of them, we decided to focus our efforts on the forests. Forests can increase their carbon absorption through effective management, and they can store carbon through human actions like greening wastelands.

We can learn a lot from Earth's history.
Forests of the past
For a long time the tree did not decompose.
They remained undecomposed and became the coal we have now.
They remained undecomposed and became the coal we have now.
In order to achieve the goal of absorbing carbon dioxide safely and efficiently, we first looked at past times when the amount of carbon dioxide decreased and the amount of oxygen increased.
That moment in time is called the Carboniferous period. During the Carboniferous Period, plants evolved from primitive plants to trees and began to produce lignin. Lignin is a natural antibacterial and anticancer substance that microorganisms at that time could not degrade, so wood simply could not decompose for a whopping 70 million years.
For such a long time, wood did not decompose, remained buried and became the coal we have now. The whole world was littered with wood waste. Undecomposed trees filled every valley, even under water. Nevertheless, life flourished.

Forests of the present
In modern times, the wood decomposes.
They don't become coal, they release carbon dioxide.
They don't become coal, they release carbon dioxide.
In the past, lignin interfered with the decomposition of wood, so wood could become coal and store carbon indefinetely. The issue of May 2020 of Nature magazine warns us about the declining ability of tropical forests to store carbon dioxide. The main reason for this is that the branches and leaves decompose, releasing carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.
