Resume
Les viesques tropicales, y cualesquier viesca en xeneral, suelen considerase los «pulmones del planeta» por mor de la so capacidá p’absorber dióxidu de carbonu y producir oxíxenu. Sicasí, esta interpretación que ta tan arraigonada socialmente ye en realidá un falsu mitu que poco tien que ver col conocimientu científicu del que disponemos anguaño.
