Правда ли, что старый лес перестает выделять кислород и поглощать углекислый газ

We filmed this video with Alexey back in 2021. However, it's still relevant, and we want to share it with you. People often believe that old forests, due to their age, stop absorbing carbon from the atmosphere and thus mitigating climate change. Some even believe that such forests become an additional source of atmospheric carbon. This logic is often used to justify logging old forests and replacing them with young ones. Let's explore how old forests absorb carbon and whether forests can become a climate problem. We'll also discuss how we can increase the absorption capacity of Russian forests.
