E-SCRAPBOOKOur partner - Trees for the Future estimates their agroforestry trees, planted in tropical climates, will sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide at an average of 50 pounds of carbon dioxide per tree per year.
The rate of carbon sequestration depends on the growth characteristics of the tree species, the conditions for growth where the tree is planted, and the density of the tree’s wood. It is greatest in the younger stages of tree growth, between 20 to 50 years.
To get a yearly sequestration rate they divide by the tree’s age.

I recently came across your post “How to calculate the amount of C02 sequestered in a tree per year…” and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that it caught my interest and you’ve provided informative points. I will visit this blog often.
Thank you,
Elden
