36、st trees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as heat.

87、 compared man and great apes (猿). He clearly showed similarities.Despite his many achievements, he was given no award by the British state until late in his life.

Over their lifetimes, urban trees will likely absorb less CO2 from the air than forest t
101、rees.As we all know, the earth would be freezing or burning hot without CO2. However, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps energy from the sun as heat. That makes temperatures near the ground rise. Human activities, especially the widespread burning-of fossil(化石）fuels, have been sending extra g
102、reenhouse gases into the air. This has led to a rise in average temperatures across the globe.Studies had shown forests easily absorb CO2, but there hadnt been much data on whether city trees grow, die and absorb CO2 at the same rate as forest trees do. So some researchers decided to find out.To fig
103、ure out how quickly trees were growing, researchers tracked their diameters (the width of their trunks) between 2008and 2018. A trees diameter increases as it grows, just as a persons waist size increases as they gain weight. About half the weight of a tree is carbon, research has shown. Most of the
104、 rest is water. Over the nine years study, the researchers found city trees absorbed four times as much carbon from the air as forest trees. However, they were twice as likely to die. So over the lifetime of each type of tree, forest trees actually absorbed more CO2.City trees grew faster because th
105、ey had less competition for light from their neighbors. In a forest,trees tend to grow close together,shading their neighbors. Street trees also benefit from higher levels of nitrogen（氮）in rainwater. Nitrogen helps plants grow. Waste gases from gas-burning cars also contain nitrogen, thus enriching
106、city air with nitrogen. Later, rainwater may wash much of it to the ground. Some street trees may also have better access to water than trees in the country because the underground water pipes can leak.32. What can we know about CO2 from paragraph 2?A.
