A new Ohio State University study has shown that trees are growing significantly larger due to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Researchers have estimated the number of trees species on Earth to be 14% higher than currently known, with 9,200 undiscovered.

Future forests will likely have smaller trees due to global warming, meaning a reduced absorption of carbon dioxide from the air.

In urban environments, trees and other vegetation are entering spring sooner than they should be, and new research is showing why.
