Tree bark #microbes clean the air by removing greenhouse and toxic gases https://phys.org/news/2026-01-tree-bark-microbes-air-greenhouse.html

"Each #tree hosts trillions of microbial cells on its bark... Most are tree-adapted specialists that feed on climate-active gases... They consume methane, hydrogen, CO... Counting all #trees on Earth, their surface covers an area roughly as all continents combined. The microbial activity across this massive 'bark continent' is potentially removing millions of tons of climate-active gases every year"
