#globalwarming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer in atmosphere.

Hidden tree bark microbes munch on important climate gases
Trees are known for absorbing CO2. But microbes in their bark also absorb other climate-active gases, methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.

Tree bark microbes also clean the air by removing greenhouse and toxic gases
Australian researchers have discovered a hidden climate superpower of trees. Their bark harbors trillions of microbes that help scrub the air of greenhouse and toxic gases.
