Forests that regrow naturally may store more carbon
2020年9月23日 · There’s increasing recognition of how nature can help tackle the climate crisis. From protecting standing forests to planting new trees, forests offer significant climate mitigation benefits. Now, new research shows that letting forests regrow on their own could be a secret weapon to fighting climate change.

Roles of Natural and Planted Forests - Frontiers
- Natural forests store more carbon than plantation forests, due to complex stand structures and accumulation of carbon belowground and in the forest floor. These features take centuries to emerge. Mature natural forests provide significant additional benefits and must be conserved, whilst regeneration of secondary natural forests is promoted.
Second Nature: Letting forests regrow themselves
2022年2月28日 · Letting forests rewild themselves is both cheaper and easier than planting thousands of seeds or saplings. But cost isn’t the only benefit. Natural regrowth can encourage a more diverse forest to grow than the monoculture that sometimes results from industrial forestry or large-scale plantings.
