Carbon-focused climate mitigation strategies are becoming increasingly important in forests. However, with ongoing biodiversity declines we require better knowledge of how much such account for biodiversity. We particularly lack information across multiple trophic levels and on established forests, where the interplay between carbon stocks, stand age, tree diversity might influence carbon-biodiversity relationships. Using a large dataset (>4600 heterotrophic species 23 taxonomic groups) from secondary, subtropical tested multitrophic within groups relate to aboveground, belowground, total stocks at different richness age. Our study revealed that aboveground carbon, key component climate-based management, was largely unrelated diversity. By contrast, stocks-that is, including belowground carbon-emerged as significant predictor Relationships were nonlinear strongest lower levels, but nonsignificant higher level Tree age moderated these relationships, suggesting long-term regeneration forests may be effective reconciling targets. findings highlight benefits climate-oriented management need evaluated carefully, only maximizing fail conservation requirements.

Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and biodiversity benefits; however, there a lack of rigorous comparison cobenefit delivery across different approaches. Through global synthesis, we used 25,950 matched data pairs from 264 studies in 53 countries assess how climate, soil, water, wood production services, addition biodiversity, compares range tree plantations native forests. Benefits aboveground carbon storage, water provisioning, especially soil erosion control are better delivered by forests, with compositionally simpler, younger drier regions performing particularly poorly. However, exhibit an advantage production. These results underscore important trade-offs among environmental goals that policy-makers must navigate meeting forest commitments.

In recent years, it has acquired importance emergency affecting not only wellbeing humans but also sustainability other lifeforms.

Multispecies tree planting has long been applied in forestry and landscape restoration the hope of providing better timber production ecosystem services; however, a systematic assessment its effectiveness is lacking. We compiled global dataset matched single-species multispecies plantations to evaluate impact on stand growth. Average height, diameter at breast aboveground biomass were 5.4, 6.8, 25.5% higher, respectively, stands compared with stands. These positive effects mainly result interspecific complementarity modulated by differences leaf morphology life span, age, density, temperature. Our results have implications for designing afforestation reforestation strategies bridging experimental studies biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships real-world practices.

Although many governments, financial institutions, and corporations are embracing nature-based solutions as part of their sustainability net-zero carbon strategies, some nations, Indigenous peoples, local community groups, grassroots organizations have rejected this term. This pushback is fueled by (i) critical uncertainties about when, where, how, for whom effective (ii) controversies surrounding misuse in greenwashing, violations human rights, threats to biodiversity. To clarify how the scientific can help address these issues, I provide an overview recent research on benefits limits solutions, including they compare with technological approaches, highlight areas future research.

Previous evaluations on the biophysical potential of forest carbon sink have focused forestation area distribution and associated stock for equilibrium-state forests after centuries-long growth. These approaches, however, limited relevance climate policies because they ignore near-term mid-term decadal uptake dynamics suitable species forestation. This study developed a roadmap to support China's "carbon neutrality" objective in 2060 by addressing three key questions forestation: where, with what species, when afforest. The results yielded high-confidence map China at resolution 1 km identified optimal native type or species. Our analysis revealed an additional 78 Mha up 2060s, 43% increase current area. Selecting maximal addition maximizing local environmental suitability enabled almost doubling potential. Progressive this can fix considerable amount CO

Plant communities strongly influence soil microbial and, in turn, carbon (C) cycling. Microbial use efficiency (CUE) is an important parameter for predicting C accumulation, yet how plant and community traits CUE remains poorly understood. Here, we determined influenced by traits, studying a natural gradient of species diversity subtropical forest. Our results showed that increased with increasing tree diversity, suggesting correlation between storage. The specific properties explained the greatest variation were associated (biomass, enzyme activities ratio oligotrophic to copiotrophic taxa); there weaker correlations plant-input properties, chemistry organic quality its mineral protection. Overall, high was correlated diversity: higher substrate availability (simple SOM chemical structures weak associations) growth rates despite dominance strategists. point mechanism which may increase forest sink affecting community.

Forestation is regarded as an effective strategy for increasing terrestrial carbon sequestration. However, its sink potential remains uncertain due to the scarcity of large-scale sampling data and limited knowledge linkage between plant soil C dynamics. Here, we conduct a survey 163 control plots 614 forested involving 25304 trees 11700 samples in northern China fill this gap. We find that forestation contributes significant (913.19 ± 47.58 Tg C), 74% which stored biomass 26% organic carbon. Further analysis reveals increases initially but then decreases nitrogen increases, while significantly nitrogen-rich soils. These results highlight importance incorporating interactions, modulated by supply calculation modelling current future potential.
