The mountains of Appalachia have lost 90 percent of their red spruce forests to logging and coal mining.

由于伐木和采煤，阿巴拉契亚山脉失去了百分之九十的红云杉林。

In West Virginia alone, restoring red spruce to its old habitat could lock up the equivalent of 56 million barrels of oil, scientists say.

科学家说，仅在西弗吉尼亚州，恢复红云杉的旧栖息地就相当于抵消了五千六百万桶石油储量带来的影响。

That’s good because red spruce forests like this one excel at taking planet warming carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and locking it away in the soil.

这很好，因为像这样的红色云杉林能够把使地球变暖的二氧化碳带出大气层，并将其固定在土壤里。
