• How feasible are global forest restoration commitments? (2020, background): “Proposed changes include limiting expansion into savannas and grasslands (Veldman et al., 2015), prioritizing natural regeneration of forests (Lewis, Wheeler, Mitchard, & Koch, 2019), and optimizing the quality and persistence of restored habitat, rather than focusing solely on restored area…”
• Understanding the value and limits of nature-based solutions to climate change and other global challenges (2020, background): “In environments where forests do not naturally thrive, such as savannahs prone to drought and fire risk, afforestation may reduce resilience to climate change and could compromise long-term carbon storage [65].”
