Shifts in regional water availability due to global tree restoration

A. J. H. V. Dijke, M. Herold, et al.

This innovative study, conducted by a team including Anne J. Hoek van Dijke and Martin Herold, delves into the surprising effects of large-scale tree restoration on global water availability. With findings indicating that while some regions could see a 6% boost in water resources, others might face alarming declines up to 38%, this research calls for a reevaluation of tree restoration strategies.
