We are now part of a larger partnership of forest scientists, practitioners and advocates who ask: How can we position forests to best respond to the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss?

The study finds that improved forest practices including increased stocking of trees could bolster carbon storage by an estimated 488 million metric tons. The authors say that's nearly a quarter of the emissions reductions New England needs to reach net-zero by 2050.
