In the mountains of Romania, it is a leading experiment to change the atmosphere in the area Redirection. Starting in 2014, about 100 Bison of Europe gradually re-entered the area, after deleting the hunting over 200 years ago. They are more than 170 and are more than 48 square kilometers. That’s the success story in itself. But there is more about this project than to bring big beasts. Their domain has also become a cold carbon, calculating 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide is aired every year, the equivalent of exiting 43,000 gasoline on the road.
Bison themselves are not important carbon sinks. Their impact is wider environment – Compacting soil, scattering seeds and creating a variety of habitats through their crawl – that has the ability to absorb carbon. The falling area is soaking 10 times before the bison enters.
Ţarcu Mountains experiment is the first test of a concept Oswald SchmitzAn ecologist at the University of Yale, the proclamation has the potential to restore the atmosphere to the former state and therefore supports detainees Climate change. Schmitz and his collaborators argue that similar projects are kicked around the world, on the ground and in the sea, a large amount of carbon would disappear.
These researchers are building the basis of their evidence and they are filling their plans. Meanwhile, climate scientists have sparked concerns …
