english: I figured it would take this long for the trees to suck up the CO2 through photosynthesis, turn it into sugars, send it down into their roots, and maybe, I hypothesized, shuttle that carbon belowground to their neighbors.
non_english: Odhadla som, že toľko by mohlo trvať stromom načerpať CO2 cez fotosyntézu, premeniť ho na cukry, poslať ich do koreňov a možno, hypoteticky, presunúť ten uhlík pod zemou svojim susedom.
