A new perspective on how peat mosses capture carbon dioxide

02/09/2026 Image Peatlands cover only around three percent of the Earth's land surface, yet they store almost one third of the world's soil carbon. In fact, all peatlands combined store more carbon than is stored in all living matter combined, including plants, humans, animals, fungi, and microbes.....

'What we have uncovered is a genuine sensorimotor loop operating in the woody parts of trees! Poor coordination in the successive activation of tension wood results in excessive internal tension, which can affect wood quality. These findings therefore reshape applied research aimed at improving wood quality... and at obtaining trees that are as straight and as relaxed as possible, whatever life throws at them!'
– Bruno Moulia, INRAE research director

A newly discovered role for tension wood: the 'muscle' trees use to correct their posture πŸ‘‡

PRESS RELEASE - A research team from INRAE and the University Clermont Auvergne has shown that trees are capable of correcting a curvature they detect in their stems through a specific biological process. In the study, young trees with bent stems were placed in an experimental set-up that prevented....
