Question
Explain how promoting ‘afforestation’ and checking ‘deforestation’ reduces the release of greenhouse gases.
Advertisements
Solution
Afforestation, growing more plants and forest help to absorb greenhouse gases CO2 during photosynthesis.
\[\ce{6CO2 + 12H2O->[Sunlight][Chlorophyll] C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6CO2}\]
Checking deforestation means reducing the burning of wood and also the use of biofertilizers instead of nitrogenous fertilizers to help the control emission of greenhouse gases, i.e. nitrous oxide.
