Realistic models of the potential for global reforestation suggest that it could absorb roughly 5% of human CO2 emissions. This is still worthwhile but nowhere near a solution on its own. New paper just published 🧪🌏🌐
Addressing critiques refines global estimates of reforestation potential for climate change mitigation - Nature Communications
Reforestation is a key climate change mitigation strategy, but global maps of its potential are widely criticized. This study shows that addressing those critiques substantially refines estimates of t...

How to make voluntary forest C offsets popular? Important findings from a survey to forest owners.
🌲 Alert! Our new study explores Finnish forest owners willingness to join carbon offset schemes. 🔍:1. Forest owner preferences vary. 2. Financial incentives are crucial across all groups. 3. Tailored, easy contracts attract. #Hilmari #CatchTheCarbon @luke.fi www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
