Ausdehnung von Ackerflächen reduziert CO2-Aufnahme

Pflanzen binden einen Teil des Treibhausgases Kohlendioxid (CO2), das vor allem durch Verbrennen fossiler Energieträger in die Atmosphäre freigesetzt wird. Veränderte Landnutzung, wie die immer noch zunehmende Abholzung von Wäldern, lässt erwarten, dass sich die CO2-Aufnahmekapazität dieser Flächen künftig verringern wird. Darauf weist eine Studie des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie hin.
