How Much Can Trees Fight Climate Change? Massively, but Not Alone, Study Finds.

Restoring global forests where they occur naturally could capture a third of the carbon humans have released since the Industrial Era.
Allowing existing forests to recover to maturity could provide extra carbon storage, but there are caveats like timber and palm oil needs, carbon loss from climate change, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions is necessary.
Forests are essential for addressing climate and biodiversity crises, but the reliance on trees to solve the climate crisis is a subject of debate. [ more ]
