In trees, carbon averages about 20 percent
of its weight. In addition to the trees
themselves, the set of forest biomass, such
as soil organic matter, also functions as a
carbon sink. Consequently, forests store
huge amounts of carbon. In total, it is
estimated that the planet's forests and its
soils store more than a trillion tons of CO2.
Hence the importance of fighting
deforestation to mitigate climate change.
