True or False
Most of a tree's mass comes from the air.
True! Many believe trees get their mass from the soil. However, through photosynthesis, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. The carbon from this CO2 forms the vast majority of a tree's dry weight, or its biomass. While water is a major component, the solid structure – like the trunk and branches – is predominantly built from atmospheric carbon.
