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
