A troubling feedback loop, where drier soil contributes to hotter climates, has been widely recognized. This study, drawing on climate model simulations, reveals that maintaining current global moisture levels could significantly alleviate 32.9% of land warming under low-emission scenarios. action also postpone reaching critical thresholds 1.5 °C and 2.0 by at least a decade. Crucially, preserving prevent noticeable change impacts across 42% the Earth's land, stark deviation from projections suggesting widespread before 2060s. To combat drying, afforestation in mid-to-low latitude regions within next three decades is proposed as an effective strategy increase surface water availability. underscores substantial potential nature-based solutions for managing moisture, benefiting both mitigation ecological enhancement.

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.

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

Restoring vegetation in degraded ecosystems is an increasingly common practice for promoting biodiversity and ecological function, but successful implementation hampered by incomplete understanding of the processes that limit restoration success. By synthesizing terrestrial aquatic studies globally (2594 experimental tests from 610 articles), we reveal substantial herbivore control under restoration. Herbivores at sites reduced abundance more strongly (by 89%, on average) than those relatively undegraded suppressed, rather fostered, plant diversity. These effects were particularly pronounced regions with higher temperatures lower precipitation. Excluding targeted herbivores temporarily or introducing their predators improved magnitudes similar to greater achieved managing competition facilitation. Thus, herbivory a promising strategy enhancing efforts.

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.

Nowadays, climate change is recognized as one of the biggest problems world facing, posing a potential threat to environment and almost all aspects human life. Since United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992, many efforts have been made mitigate change, with no considerable results. According projections, temperatures will continue rise, extreme weather events become more frequent, prolonged, intense. Reflecting these concerns, 2015 Paris Agreement was adopted cornerstone for reducing impact aiming limit global warming below 2 °C even keep temperature rise 1.5 °C. To achieve this international goal, focused mitigation actions be required. has strong forests, enhancing their growth but also risks them. Conversely, forests can they surface through influence land–atmosphere energy exchange absorption vast amounts CO2 photosynthesis. Consequently, afforestation reforestation integral components strategies worldwide. This review aims summarize cutting-edge knowledge role mitigation, emphasizing carbon storage capacity. Overall, afforestation/reforestation hinges strategic planning, implementation, local forest conditions. Integrating other removal technologies could enhance long-term effectiveness storage. Ultimately, effective entails both restoring establishing alongside greenhouse gas emissions.

Abstract Mitigating climate change cost-effectively requires identifying least-cost-per-ton GHG abatement methods. Here, we estimate and map cost (US$ per tCO 2 ) for two common reforestation methods: natural regeneration plantations. We do so by producing integrating new maps of implementation costs opportunity reforestation, likely plantation genus carbon accumulation means plantations, accounting storage in harvested wood products. find (46%) plantations (54%) would each have lower across about half the area considered suitable 138 low- middle-income countries.

Forest canopy structural complexity (CSC) plays a crucial role in shaping forest ecosystem productivity and stability, but the precise nature of their relationships remains controversial. Here, we mapped global distribution CSC revealed factors influencing its using worldwide light detection ranging data. We find that predominantly demonstrates significant positive with stability globally, although substantial variations exist among ecoregions. The effects on are balanced results biodiversity resource availability, providing valuable insights for comprehending functions. Managed forests found to have lower more potent enhancing than intact forests, highlighting urgent need integrate into development management plans effective climate change mitigation.
