Tree planting is grounded in forest science and, if performed properly, can result in the successful regeneration of a deforested area. However a planted forest rarely replicates the biodiversity and complexity of a natural forest. [1] Because trees remove carbon dioxide from the air as they grow, tree planting can be used to help limit climate ...
Tree planting projects in particular have been problematic. Critics point to a number of concerns. Trees reach maturity over a course of many decades. It is difficult to guarantee how long the forest will last. It may suffer clearing, burning, or mismanagement. [78] [79] Some tree-planting projects introduce fast-growing invasive species. These ...
Plant-for-the-Planet is an organisation that aims to raise awareness among children and adults about the issues of climate change and global justice. The Initiative also works to plant trees and considers this to be both a practical and symbolic action in efforts to reduce the effect of climate change.
The Savannah College of Art and Design engaged in a long-term project to explore the impact of trees on the environment, economy, human health and social well-being. The Surprising Role Trees Play ...
Alpine plants are one group expected to be highly susceptible to the impacts of climate change (Logan Pass, in Montana, United States). There is an ongoing decline in plant biodiversity, just like there is ongoing biodiversity loss for many other life forms. One of the causes for this decline is climate change.
A tropical plant community on Diego Garcia Rangeland monitoring using Parker 3-step Method, Okanagan Washington 2002. Plant ecology is a subdiscipline of ecology that studies the distribution and abundance of plants, the effects of environmental factors upon the abundance of plants, and the interactions among plants and between plants and other organisms.

The forest is a natural system that can supply different products and services. Forests supply water, mitigate climate change, provide habitats for wildlife including many pollinators which are essential for sustainable food production, provide timber and fuelwood, serve as a source of non-wood forest products including food and medicine, and contribute to rural livelihoods.
Research suggests that slow-growing trees are only stimulated in growth for a short period under higher CO 2 levels, while faster growing plants like liana benefit in the long term. In general, but especially in rainforests , this means that liana become the prevalent species; and because they decompose much faster than trees their carbon ...
