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.

There has never been a more pressing and opportune time for science practice to collaborate towards restoration of the world's forests. Multiple uncertainties remain achieving successful, long-term forest landscape (FLR). In this article, we use expert knowledge literature review identify gaps that need closing advance practice, as an introduction landmark theme issue on FLR UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration. Aligned with Adaptive Management Cycle FLR, 15 essential advances required facilitate success nature people. They highlight greatest challenges lie in conceptualization, planning assessment stages restoration, which require evidence base why, where how restore, at realistic scales. underlying sciences are complex, requiring spatially explicit approaches across disciplines sectors, considering multiple objectives, drivers trade-offs critical decision-making financing.

Forest landscape restoration is a global priority to mitigate negative effects of climate change, conserve biodiversity, and ensure future sustainability forests, with international pledges concentrated in tropical forest regions. To hold efforts accountable monitor their outcomes, traditional strategies for monitoring tree cover increase by field surveys are falling short, because they labor-intensive costly. Meanwhile remote sensing approaches have not been able distinguish different types that result from utilizing (conservation versus production focus). Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAV) light detection ranging (LiDAR) sensors can observe forests` vertical horizontal structural variation, which has the potential types. In this study, we explored UAV-borne LiDAR landscapes under southeastern Brazil using supervised classification method. The study area encompassed 150 plots six divided two groups: conservation (remnant natural regrowth, active plantings) (monoculture, mixed, abandoned plantations) forests. data was used extract several Canopy Height Model (CHM), voxel, point cloud statistic based metrics at high resolution analysis. Using random model could successfully classify forests (90% accuracy). Classification entire set less accurate (62%) confusion matrix showed divide between Understory Leaf Area Index (LAI) variation vegetation density upper half canopy were most important metrics. particular, LAI understory may help advance ecological understanding restoration. difference success underlines difficulty distinguishing individual very similar management, regeneration dynamics, structure. context, ability identify complex structures plot scale groups widely distributed across restored medium accuracy. Future research explore fusion optical sensors, include successional stages analyses further characterize contributions

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.

Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures. To determine whether diversification plantations would enhance aboveground carbon storage, we systematically reviewed over 11,360 publications, acquired data from a global network tree diversity experiments. We compiled maximum dataset 79 monoculture to mixed comparisons 21 sites with all variables needed for meta-analysis. assessed stocks in mixed-species vs. (a) the average monocultures, (b) best monoculture, (c) commercial examined potential mechanisms driving differences between mixtures On average, found were 70% than 77% 25% performing although latter was not statistically significant. Overyielding highest four-species (richness range 2–6 species), but otherwise none (nitrogen-fixer present absent; native non-native/mixed origin; experiment forestry plantation) consistently explained variation effects. Our results, young stands, thus could be very promising solution increasing sequestration represent call action more increase confidence these results elucidate methods overcome any operational challenges costs associated diversification.
