Reforestation scenarios shape global and regional temperature outcomes [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment
Large-scale reforestation is a prominent proposed climate mitigation strategy, but its full temperature impact remains poorly understood. Here, we present a systematic comparison of temperature responses to three distinct reforestation potentials using a

Addressing critiques refines global estimates of reforestation potential for climate change mitigation [PDF]

Nature Communications
Reforestation is a prominent climate change mitigation strategy, but available global maps of reforestation potential are widely criticized and highly variable, which limits their ability to provide robust estimates of both the locations and total area ...

Differentiation of soil metabolic function and microbial communities between plantations and natural reforestation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Reforestation plays a vital role in restoring the soil degradation areas. However, the mechanisms by which different restoration approaches affect the soil properties and microbial communities remain unclear. Aiming to understand the interactions between

The Reforestation of Africa?

South African Journal of Science, 2012
1poses a challenging question for African ecologists and environmentalists: do we, in the subcontinent, face not a contraction, but a vast and inevitable expansion of subtropical tree cover, driven by levels of CO 2 that have not been seen in the past several million years?

A quick and effective trait-based protocol for selecting appropriate native plant species for the reforestation of degraded tropical mines [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionA critical issue in tropical forests is that anthropogenic deforestation (i.e., mining) degrades the integrity of its ecosystem. Reforestation with appropriate native plant species helps to alleviate these detrimental impacts.
