As heatwaves continue one after another, we are feeling their effects on our own bodies: it becomes harder for us to function normally. Trees also have their limits when temperatures are too high. Above a certai… EPFL News (Mediacom) · 9 Jul 2026 Research & science Trees keep absorbing carbon long after they stop growing Oak trees keep absorbing carbon dioxide long after their annual growth has ended, revealing that photosynthesis and wood production are not as closely linked as scientists once believed. The finding could reshape forecasts of how much carbon forests will be able to store in a warmer future.
