(Photo : Getty Images) Extra Rainfall in Forests On the basis of computer models trained on real-world data, the study authors made a conclusion that "a most practical reforestation scenario, which sustainability safeguards constrain" would be sufficient to boost summertime rainfall by 7.6 percent across Europe each year. That has to do with the conversion of 20 percent of the available land, as concluded by satellite mapping techniques, with the additional rain not just taking place on the forests themselves but also downwind - mostly during the summer months.
