Is it true that the net amount of CO2 sequestered by trees is directly related to the mass of new growth?

Yes. Scientific evidence consistently supports the principle that the net amount of carbon dioxide sequestered by trees is directly related to the mass of new woody growth and biomass accumulation.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is specific and falsifiable, dealing with the fundamental botanical relationship between tree growth and carbon sequestration. Multiple papers demonstrate that biomass increment and growth parameters (such as DBH and wood volume) are directly used to calculate and correlate with carbon uptake and storage. Therefore, the evidence strongly supports the claim, yielding a verdict of SUPPORTED.
