Climate mitigation encompasses strategies to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases through renewable energy adoption, land use modification, and carbon removal technologies. Plants play a vital role in these efforts through photosynthetic carbon sequestration and long-term carbon storage in biomass and soil. Plant science research is essential for optimizing climate solutions, from sustainable agriculture and ecosystem restoration to developing climate-resilient crop varieties.
