tree planting

Afforestation at high latitudes disrupts soil, increasing microbial carbon decomposition and enhancing soil warming through snow trapping, while growing trees accelerate soil carbon turnover and reduce surface albedo. When a plantation is disturbed, albedo rises, but carbon stored in biomass decreases.

Arctic Tree Planting Could Actually Speed Up Global Warming, Scientists Warn

Meet Plantolin, the tree-planting robot pangolin built at the University of Surrey

This map of red oak seed sources provides an example of a major threat to an important effort against climate change: major government and private funding is being invested in planting trees as a powerful tool to fight local and global warming. But new research in the journal Bioscience, from which this map is adapted, shows a troubling bottleneck that could threaten these efforts: U.S. tree nurseries don’t grow close to enough trees—nor have the species diversity needed—to meet ambitious planting goals.

Plans to plant billions of trees threatened by massive undersupply of seedlings
