Mangrove reforestation provides greater blue carbon benefit than afforestation for mitigating global climate change

S. Song, Y. Ding, et al.

This groundbreaking study conducted by Shanshan Song and colleagues revealed that reforestation of mangroves has a significantly higher carbon storage potential compared to afforestation. By prioritizing reforestation, we can enhance global CO2-eq sequestration by 60% over 40 years, making it a vital strategy in climate change mitigation efforts.
