40、 in cities live fast but die young compared to forests in the countryside, warns a new study.Its time for us to understand city trees from a new way.Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2. City-living trees suffer(遭受) a los
41、s of carbon storage(碳储量). That means trees produce less energy from the air.Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith, a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, “Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and in
42、creasing CO2.”. “We find that tree planting alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率). Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover.”The research team used a
43、model to watch changes among street trees for several planting and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planting rates(率)both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and g
44、rowth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.The study, published in PLOS ONE, has reminded scientists to
45、 encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees. It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.Researchers say planting and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees -whi
46、ch may be different from countryside forests.42According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?AThe more carbon storage loses, the more energy the trees produce from the air.BThe higher the levels of CO2 are, the harder it will be for the plants to survive.CIf we plant enough trees, we are sure to increase city canopy cover.DCities do better in fighting against ris
