Afforestation isn't just about planting a tree; it’s about healing the Earth. 🌍
It’s the process of establishing forests on land that has been barren for generations. By doing this, we aren't just adding greenery—we are rebuilding the planet’s natural lung capacity. 🌱 #Afforestation #ClimateAction
Are you studying plantations on #grasslands? 🔍 We’re hosting an online workshop on 10 April to dive deep into the impacts of #afforestation and strategies for biodiversity conservation.
Come share your expertise and join the discussion! ⬇️ #plantation

Global map showing the study sites included in the meta-analysis (a) and the relationship between mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) of the study sites (b).
Tree planting had an overall minimal effect on soil fauna communities across multiple former ecosystem types at the global scale, but for a specific former ecosystem type (such as deserts), the impact of #Reforestation may vary.

We have the power to restore what has been lost. 💪
Through afforestation, we can transform degraded lands into thriving ecosystems. We can reestablish natural landscapes and improve air quality for generations to come. The solution is rooted in the ground. 🌱 #Afforestation #HealTheEarth
[6/6] Il s’agit du premier exemple documenté d’un désert partiellement transformé en puits de carbone par action humaine. Si l’effet sur les tempêtes de sable reste débattu, le modèle pourrait inspirer d’autres régions arides. #geography #desertification #afforestation #China
[1/6] Une étude montre que l’afforestation autour du désert du #Taklamakan transforme ses marges en puits de carbone. Ce désert de 337.000 km², longtemps qualifié de "vide biologique", absorbe désormais plus de CO2 qu’il n’en émet. #geography #desertification #afforestation #China

The #EARTHONE pilot in Slovenia studies the shift from grassland to forest, measuring soil organic matter, microbial activity and CO₂/CH₄/N₂O emissions. It builds on 15 years of monitoring to understand how #afforestation shapes soil health and carbon storage.

Figure 6 in Hu et al. (2026): "Relationship between microbial diversity and network complexity, network complexity and stability (A), Structural equation modelings (SEMs) showed the effect of high diversifying afforestation, soil total carbon (TC) and microbial alpha diversity on microbial network complexity and stability (bacteria for B, Fungi for C). Black arrow indicates the positive effect. ∗, ∗∗ and ∗∗∗ indicated P < 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively."

SC found only 50% of 20,460 trees survived for Mumbai Metro compensatory afforestation. ⚠️ Over 21K trees felled 2018-23 for dev projects. Transplant survival: <21% (963/4338). 📉 #Afforestation #UrbanDevelopment #BMC
@timbray we have scalable and viable capture and storage technology; it's called "trees". We need to be preserving the ones we have and planting a lot more. #afforestation #reforestation

🌳Earlier this month, I asked Ed Miliband what his plans to lead on afforestation and the restoration of the world's ecosystems at COP30 are.
In his statement, he thanked me for my work on climate and nature earlier in the year.
