Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS)—solutions to societal challenges that involve
working with nature—have recently gained popularity as an integrated approach that can …

Forests are a substantial terrestrial carbon sink, but anthropogenic changes in land use and
climate have considerably reduced the scale of this system. Remote-sensing estimates to …

Abstract NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne
full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest …

Urgent solutions to global climate change are needed. Ambitious tree‐planting initiatives,
many already underway, aim to sequester enormous quantities of carbon to partly …

A dietary shift from animal-based foods to plant-based foods in high-income nations could
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from direct agricultural production and increase carbon …

The globally important carbon sink of intact, old-growth tropical humid forests is declining
because of climate change, deforestation and degradation from fire and logging …

Tropical forest degradation from selective logging, fire and edge effects is a major driver of
carbon and biodiversity loss,–, with annual rates comparable to those of deforestation …

Tree planting is both a promising and controversial solution to climate change and
biodiversity loss. However, this controversy is largely theoretical because we lack detailed …

Current policy is driving renewed impetus to restore forests to return ecological function,
protect species, sequester carbon and secure livelihoods. Here we assess the contribution …
