China’s naturally regenerated forests currently have greater aboveground carbon accumulation rates than newly planted forests

Communications Earth & Environment
China has restored extensive forest areas through afforestation and natural regeneration, contributing to climate change mitigation. However, the restoration patterns and the mechanisms driving aboveground carbon accumulation in these forests remain ...

Planted Forests Greened 7% Slower Than Natural Forests in Southern China Over the Past Forty Years

Geophysical Research Letters
Forests have seen a strong greening trend worldwide, and previous studies have attributed this mainly to land‐use conversions such as afforestation. However, for the greening of existing forests, the role of human interventions is unclear. Here we paired

Aplicação do Modelo Swat na avaliação do consumo de água em áreas de florestas plantadas na bacia do rio Pará, Alto São Francisco, em Minas Gerais / Application of SWAT Model in the evaluation of water consumption in planted forest areas in Pará river basin, Upper São Francisco, in Minas Gerais. [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2015
Forests are very important for the balance of the hydrological cycle. There is, however, a discussion on whether plantations increase exaggeratedly water consumption in watersheds, especially if such plantations replace original smaller-size vegetation ...

Eating plants and planting forests for the climate [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2019
The IPCC's Special Report on Climate Change and Land addresses the closely coupled relationship between land use and climate change. The report notes the climate change mitigation potential of dietary shifts and afforestation. Here, we briefly discuss how decreases in ruminant meat consumption associated with dietary shifts have the potential to free ...

An Object- and Shapelet-Based Method for Mapping Planted Forest Dynamics from Landsat Time Series

Remote Sensing, 2022
Large-scale afforestation in arid and semi-arid areas with fragile ecosystems for the purpose of restoring degradation and mitigating climate change has raised issues of decreased groundwater recharge and ambiguous climatic benefits.

Population structure and body condition of White-crested Elaenia (Elaenia albiceps) in relation to habitat in a modified Neotropical forest landscape

Avian Research, 2023
Despite the widely accepted view that planted forests are valuable habitat for wildlife species, there is a lack of empirical evidence showing the suitability of this novel habitat, especially in relation to plantations of exotic tree species ...
