If economics can be said to speak, it needs to shout LOUDLY about proper green regeneration (rather than plant-a-tree make-work): “Scientists found that natural #forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.” 🌳🪾🌲🌴🎄

Fabulous news - thanks so much for sharing! 😀🙏🏻

"The trees left behind after thinning were enormous. While they were only 80 years old, the largest averaged well over a metre in diameter at chest height, and some were more than 1.5m."

#FungiFriday

🌳 Brazilian study used small amounts of Amazonian dark earth (ADE) in forest restoration and found it supercharged tree growth.

🚜 In land that had been worn down by deforestation, pasture use, and poor soil management, the ADE was found to enable faster beneficial fungal growth which enriched the tree rhizosphere.

🍄 Fungi turned out to be more important for establishment than other soil components.

👉 Good News for Restoration Science: Small-volume inoculum can be developed to help native trees establish faster without relying on fertilizers or herbicides.

Research: Australian human-induced native forest regeneration carbon offset projects have limited impact on changes in woody vegetation cover and carbon removals.

Poor integrity carbon offsets actually enables fossil fuel projects to increase emissions under current #SafeguardMechanism policy settings which allows unlimited offset credits to meet set targets.
