Hi. I've tried to find the definitive average figure of the amount of CO2 sequestered by trees, however it seems impossible to find a reliable figure as the variables involved mean I keep getting different answers.
It all depends on the type of tree, where it grows, how healthy it is, how old it is, etc, ect. Therefore does anyone know of any formula or definitive answer that will actually tell me how much CO2 a healthy broadleaf tree in the UK (for example) will absorb from sapling to maturity (let's say 50 years) and each year thereafter??
PLEASE don't be random - I really do need to have a proper scientific answer to this Q for research I'm doing for my charity to challenge the carbon offsetting industry.
Thank you very much.
