The team, led by atmospheric scientist Ning Zeng of the University of Maryland in the US, found that the wood had only lost 5% of its carbon compared with a freshly cut Eastern red cedar log. When plants decompose or are burnt, they release the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) they had absorbed from the atmosphere.
