Methane-Munching Bacteria Could Be The Solution to ‘Treethane’ Emissions – ScienceAlert

Trees are the Earth’s lungs it’s well understood they drawdown and lock up vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But emerging research is showing trees can also emit methane, and it’s currently unknown just how much.
This could be a major problem, given methane is a greenhouse gas about 45 times more potent than carbon dioxide at warming our planet.
