Study: Reforestation '10 times more cost effective' for climate than previously thought
Scientists claim fresh approach to restoring tree cover to previously deforested areas could remove more CO2 from the atmosphere and at a lower cost

Removing cattle, sheep, and other grazing livestock from all potentially natively forested areas globally could sequester a staggering 445 gigatons of CO2 by the end of this century -- the equivalent to more than a decade of current global fossil fuel emissions.

China’s carbon sinks from land-use change underestimated
Nature Climate Change - The terrestrial carbon flux—sources and sinks—under land-use change (LUC) is difficult to quantify. Here, using a LUC dataset drawing on remote sensing and...

Recovering tropical forests grow back nearly twice as fast with nitrogen
A new study coauthored by Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies ecologist Sarah Batterman estimates that if recovering tropical forests had enough nitrogen in their soils, they might absorb up to an additional 820 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each…

Tree Bark Microbes Capture Greenhouse Gases, New Study Finds Read Full Article #TreeBarkMicrobes #GreenhouseGases #StudyFinds #MicrobialSequestration #ClimateScience
🌳 New research reveals microbes in tree bark can trap greenhouse gases like methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, independent of photosynthesis.
🔬 This discovery, published in January in Science, suggests a massive cumulative greenhouse gas removal by bark microbes globally, potentially altering estimates of ecological loss from deforestation.
🌿 The study found different tree species have distinct bark microbial communities, some more effective at gas trapping. Under low-oxygen conditions, these microbes can switch to producing gases.
🌱 Future reforestation efforts could prioritize tree species with the most active gas-consuming bark microbes to enhance effectiveness.
