Additionally the researchers note that the drought frequency paired with longer recovery time could lead to tree death and thus a lowered ability of the region to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, further increasing greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.

It differs from the Arrhenius theory in being able to handle more than one greenhouse gas simultaneously absorbing in the infrared.

Absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere is another way oceans mitigate greenhouse gas impacts, although marine waters are growing increasingly acidic as a result.
