DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2115329119
Abstract: Significance Tree diversity is fundamental for forest ecosystem stability and services. However, because of limited available data, estimates of tree diversity at large geographic domains still rely heavily on published lists of species descriptions that… read more here.

Advances and shortfalls in applying best practices to global tree‐growing efforts
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Conservation Letters"
DOI: 10.1111/conl.13002
Abstract: As global tree‐growing efforts have escalated in the past decade, copious failures and unintended consequences have prompted many reforestation best practices guidelines. The extent to which organizations have integrated these ecological and socioeconomic recommendations, however,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.aaz0111
Abstract: Bastin et al. (Reports, 5 July 2019, p. 76) claim that 205 gigatonnes of carbon can be globally sequestered by restoring 0.9 billion hectares of forest and woodland canopy cover. Reinterpreting the data from Bastin… read more here.
