Hello,

The binding of carbon dioxide by plants works in such a way that the CO2 (at the same time with water) is split up and the components are combined into new organic compounds. A portion of the oxygen contained in the original compounds is thereby released. The CO2 bound by your bonsai is therefore in its organic substance. The more of them present, the more CO2 is bound. If the organic substance is rotted, degraded or burned, this process is reversed again, the stored CO2 is released again.

Wood consists half of its mass of carbon. Since oxygen is released during its production, which also has a mass, a mass unit of stored carbon corresponding to more CO2, the conversion is 3.67. So, the dry mass of your bonsai, divided by two, and then by 3.67, then you have the mass of CO2 he currently stores. If you want more, you have to make him grow.

Could be little. Especially because you keep them small. The new foliage does not count because the old foliage would have to be deducted (pre-rotated and releases CO2).
