On the other hand, in inland zones, located on the downwind side of Kanto region, afforestation in both local and upwind areas contributed to a decrease in Tsmax.
The objective of the FREP was to evaluate the effects of restoration, through afforestation of various local climax species, on ecological functions to provide guidance for future restoration projects on severely deteriorated landscapes, which are very common in southern China.
Current evidence suggests that afforestation will typically reduce local average water yield as well as low flows.
The objective of the FREP was to evaluate the effects of restoration on ecological functions through afforestation by using various local species.
However, the study showed that only a few households or a segment of the local community received any benefit from governmental afforestation programmes.
Afforestation may influence precipitation patterns at local to regional scales by changing surface-atmosphere transfers of heat and moisture.
For instance, from 1986 to 2014, 5 ha of forest, 70 ha of shrub land, 229 ha of cultivated and rural settlement land, 38 ha of grass land and 8 ha of wet land was converted to bare land even though there was afforestation and reforestation efforts by the local government since 1991 in the study areas as it was reported from interview.
The afforestation plans were realized as a local project in collaboration with private land owners, under a larger national agenda, and there are new afforestation objectives to double the forest cover in Aarhus Municipality, before the year 2030.
Soil nutrient contents were higher in afforested lands and increased with afforestation age.
The selection of a species should be based on the evaluation of its adaptability, noninvasiveness, growth potential, and performance under the prevailing local arid conditions for their aesthetic looks, soil stabilization, and afforestation values.
