Trees in cities “live fast but die young” compared to forests in the countryside,warns a new study.
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2.City-living trees suffer (遭受) a loss of carbon storage (碳储量).That means trees produce less energy from the air.

Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation.Ian Smith,a PhD.student of Boston University in the United States,said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.”.“We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover (树冠覆盖率).Because of the age and size of the present canopy,efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”

The study,published in PLOS ONE,has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees.It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.
Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily,but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees—which may be different from countryside forests.

Trees have many benefits for people. First, they benefit our health. They make oxygen for us to breathe. Second, they take in harmful gases from the air. We can't live without trees. Third, trees can beautify our environment.
As trees are so important, we must do our best to protect them. We must enforce the tree protection laws. We must plant as many trees as possible. Only in this way can we live happily in the beautiful world.
