🌲A global analysis of 6,550 observations shows that mixed-species plantations increase soil carbon and water holding capacity by about 10.5%. The greatest gains occur in conifer broadleaf mixtures in warm, wet climates through better soil structure 👉️ https://t.co/g4ePKno0BU
It’s great to share that Small-scale Forestry has returned to Q1 status (best quartile in Forestry) in SCImago journal's ranking. I took the role of Chief Editor position of this journal last year and it is good to see some progress within such a short period !
There is no pathway to climate stability or sustainable development without keeping nature intact. By 2030, we must halt the loss of remaining intact biomes while reversing extinction risks and scaling up restoration. New paper with @FrontScience.
