🚨NEW STUDY🚨

"#Afforestation & #reforestation are worthwhile solutions for C sequestration, but lack of hierarchical spatial-temporal maps for national scale #CarbonSequestrationRate hinders scientific implementation."

In this regard, a new study is published, details ⬇️
1/8🧵

🌲Researchers assessed "the spatial-temporal #CarbonSequestrationRate (CSR) per area for #Afforestation & #Reforestation at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels in China using a forest carbon sequestration model under three climate scenarios."
2/8

🌳🌱Results showed that "the #CSR of vegetation (CSRVeg), soil (CSRSoil), and the ecosystem (CSREco) significantly varied across space and time. In China, the CSRVeg, CSRSoil, and CSREco were primarily regulated by the spatial variations in temperature and precipitation."

🌾🌱Additionally, "CSRVeg was found to be positively influenced by precipitation and temperature, whereas temperature had a negative influence on CSRSoil."

Authors suggested that "these info on the spatiotemporal variation of #CSR of A&R (vegetation, soil, & ecosystem) on unit A basis & at levels of province, prefecture, & county in China, can be used as a comparable protocol to assess the #CarbonSinks of A&R at various scales."

🌲🌳"Overall, these hierarchical spatiotemporal maps for #CSR on A&R may help to identify priority areas of forest management planning and carbon trade policy to achieve faster #CarbonNeutrality for #China in the future," study concluded.
