What is the best plant / tree for converting CO2 into oxygen?
Answers:
the tree with many leaves is the best. For example rambutan tree
i believe photosynthesis occurs best on the tree trunk, so a big fat tree is what you need !

Bilboa!

There is no best plant/tree for converting CO2 into oxygen. Usually trees are the best however.
But still advise to not chop trees. Selected chopping of trees is still dangerous. Trees release carbon dioxide = global warming
Younger trees are better than older ones as they are growing and are using up more CO2 than their older counterparts. Some older tress are rotten and part dead as well. So in some cases it is actually better to cut down those 100 year old oak tress and replace them with new ones. Go to garden centre and find one with lots of leaves which suits your soil type.
While you are there get a garden composter as well :)
any plant is good.. but i think the best is a huge tree with many many leaves...
I believe it is the Neem Plant
With any plant, the carbon gets taken up as part of the plant material. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant so an acre of bamboo will deal with more CO2 than an acre of anything else.
The main problem is what then happens to the cane. If it's burnt or allowed to rot, the carbon gets back into the atmosphere as CO2 or (worse) methane. Bamboo rots quite easily so it's probably not the best long term solution for getting carbon out of the atmosphere.
Hardwoods grow much more slowly, but they store carbon as wood. Provided that the timber is left standing or kept in some other way, the carbon stays out of the atmosphere.
Converting all suitable land in the world to hardwood forest is probably the only solution to the threat of global warming. Anything else will make little difference.
The way the world is going is a bit like driving at 100 mph with a brick wall looming up in front of you. Easing your foot off the gas pedal isn't going to make much difference (especially if you're being tailgated by a 40 ton truck with China written on it).
At a guess I would say the much overlooked Blue-green algae.
God knows what species, I would imagine a fast growing tree with a high percentage of foliage.
Perhaps Beech?
Alternatively increase the amount of phytoplankton
I would think that it will be one that grows particularly quickly such as algae.
any thing green
As long as we called it a plant
