Painful Memories, UnforgottenDTrees in cities live fast but die young compared to forests in the countryside, warns a new study.Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of

42、 CO2. City-living trees suffer(遭受) a loss of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fig

43、hting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.”. “We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率).

44、 canopy cover.”The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.It was disco

However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.The study, published

It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a
