The biome known for its carbon sequestration abilities due to the presence of Portulacaria afra is the succulent karoo biome. This biome is characterized by its arid conditions and succulent plants, including Portulacaria afra, also known as the spekboom or elephant bush. Portulacaria afra has the ability to absorb high amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in its leaves and stems, making it a highly effective carbon sequestration plant. Its ability to sequester carbon has made the succulent karoo biome an important ecosystem for mitigating climate change.
