What Kind of Native Vermont Plant is The Most Effective Carbon Sequestration Tool?
Great poster, Megan, Caitlyn, and Clara! My partner does a lot of carbon modeling work and mentioned that the Department of Energy (DOE) does somewhat similar work. They grow plants in free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) experiments out in fields–without atmosphere bubbles around them–and occasionally supplement the field when the wind is right with elevated CO2 to mimic future carbon scenarios. You might want to check this out if this is a topic that interests you. Again, great work!
