How can afforestation help the climate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can increase carbon dioxide absorption
Afforestation means establishing trees on land that was previously not forested or had lost its forest cover. Through photosynthesis, growing trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store carbon in biomass and soils. Afforestation can therefore support climate mitigation, although its success also depends on suitable species, water, biodiversity, and long-term protection.
