How Healthy Soil & Trees Store Carbon (Kids KS2 Guide)
Healthy soil holds water, nutrients, and carbon underground.
Trees use sunlight and carbon dioxide to build wood and roots.
Plant roots share natural sugars with helpful soil fungi.
Fruit peels and dry leaves turn into rich dark humus.
Uncovered dirt dries out in sun and washes away in rain.
Clover and grasses protect farm fields all winter long.
Foresters measure tree trunk width to estimate stored carbon.
Spongy soil soaks up heavy rain and keeps rivers clean.
Mulching school beds saves water and helps worms thrive.
