Which biome is known for its carbon sequestration abilities due to the presence of portulacaria afra

1 answer

The South African savanna biome is known for its carbon sequestration abilities due to the presence of Portulacaria afra, also known as elephant bush or spekboom. This plant is able to store large amounts of carbon in its leaves and stems, making it an important weapon against climate change. Additionally, the savanna biome itself is a significant carbon sink, storing large amounts of carbon in the soil and vegetation.
