In the beginning of February 2022, if we bore 10 living and 10 dead trees in 5 different species at Edna Drinkwater School in Northport, Maine, and study the samples with a microscope to count the tree rings to tell the tree’s age and growth during the life of the tree, and compare our records to Belfast Water District weather records, will it show the same data about the climate? Plus, what is the total amount of Carbon Dioxide the tree sequestered and the amount of C02 the dead trees are putting back out into the atmosphere?
