Large-scale semi-arid afforestation can enhance precipitation and carbon sequestration potential
Abstract Afforestation is an important approach to mitigate global warming. Its complex interactions with the climate system, however, makes it controversial. Afforestation is expected to be effective in the tropics where biogeochemical and biogeophysical effects act in concert; however, its potenti...
