Top scientists have highlighted the importance of carbon sequestration in forests as they play an irreplaceable role in reducing carbon in the atmosphere and ultimately in the fight against climate change. Yin Weilun, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former director of Beijing Forestry University, said forests and grasslands have a unique position in the fight against global climate change. Forest carbon sinks are plants that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and fix it in vegetation or soil, reducing the concentration of the gas, Yin said. (LI HONGYANG, ChinaDaily)
