Thoughts about two trees
In the image above this text is two trees. Another tree seems very nice and colorful, but the other is still green. When we are thinking about this canvas, the green tree assimilates, and they are good for the environment. But red trees are looking better.
Colorful trees are a beautiful thing, but they don't benefit anybody. The thing is that the good-looking tree doesn't be photosynthetic, and it just creates carbon dioxide because the red tree is transforming to use the night reaction. The green trees are producers but they need sunlight for that thing. During the dark time plants are like other organisms.
When trees and other plants are in the dark, they are producing carbon dioxide. But the green tree, what might look like very modest, when they are the side of the colorful tree are using photosynthesis, and they are decreasing the level of carbon dioxide, but the thing what we must remember is that the carbon dioxide stress of trees are positive only if the tree is producing more oxygen than carbon dioxide during its lifetime. If the tree spends a very long time in the dark, that means that the carbon dioxide stress of the tree is negative.
So in this text, the positive carbon dioxide stress means the situation, where the effect on the atmosphere is positive, which means that the level of greenhouse gasses is decreasing. And negative carbon dioxide stress means the situation, where the plants are producing more carbon dioxide than oxygen during its lifetime. And this is the thing that makes things like using wood or peat problematic energy sources.
When we are burning peat and wood that thing releases the carbon that is involving in that material back to the atmosphere. So if we want to make the ecological fuel by using the peat or other organic materials, we must remember that the positive carbon dioxide stress is possible only, when those plants are releasing more oxygen than they use during their lifetime.
