Conversion from coniferous to broadleaved trees can make European forests more climate-effective - Nature Communications This study investigates the effects of forestation on temperature in Europe using climate model experiments. The findings indicate that conversion from coniferous to broadleaved trees in currently for...

🌳 Our research in Nature Communications!
Converting coniferous to broad-leaved forests in Europe could cut summer hot extremes by up to 1 °C — boosting climate effectiveness.

Navigating forests & bioeconomy sustainably to climate goals EU forests play a central role for achieving the climate goal: they cover 44% of the region’s land & absorb nearly 10% of its greenhouse gas emissions each year

🌳EU forests are crucial for the climate, covering 44% of the land and absorbing nearly 10% of greenhouse gases🌳The #HorizonEU project #ForestNavigator assesses the climate mitigation potential of forests and forest-based sectors by modelling robust policy pathways.
