Scientists tracked global forest photosynthesis for 20 years and found species-rich forests improved faster; biodiversity loss could reduce the trend by up to 17% by 2050

• Represenntative imageForests with more tree species appear to be improving faster over time, according to a new global study published in Nature Climate Change.
• That matters because photosynthesis is the process that powers forest growth and carbon uptake.
• When forests photosynthesize more efficiently, they can pull more carbon dioxi
