Scientists are pumping carbon dioxide into this forest to prepare for the greenhouse gas levels of 2050. The Free Air Carbon Dioxide Enrichment experiment by the University of Birmingham uses tall masts to pump concentrated CO2 into a forest canopy. The study aims to measure how effective trees and other plants are at absorbing future levels of CO2.
