The carbon-capturing potential of Opuntia species.
Several factors can influence the carbon-capturing potential of Opuntia species. These factors play a significant role in determining the efficiency and effectiveness of Opuntia in sequestering carbon…
Carbon Capturing Mechanisms in Opuntia
Opuntia, a prickly pear cactus, employs a unique photosynthetic pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) to capture and store carbon dioxide (CO₂). The CAM pathway allows Opuntia…
