And in 15 years, another group of students can measure those trees and contribute the data to the long-term study of reforestation in this zone.
Despite rubber expansion, biosphere zoning strategy (i.e. experimental, buffer, core zones), and reforestation activities conducted in NRWNNR were able to enhance the carbon stocks.
The increase in vegetation carbon storage is mainly due to the large percentages of the suburban and exurban areas which exist in Xiamen city, and the implementation of reforestation programs in these two zones.
Reasonable assumptions are also made regarding future reforestation and deforestation for different zones.
In the Central Dry Zone, focus is on reforestation and afforestation, water saving agricultural techniques, agro-forestry and annual crops.
The Forestry Department of Pichincha Province has also undertaken reforestation efforts in the peri-urban zone of Quito, with approximately 5000 ha. of reforestation documented throughout the Province as of the early 1980s (more recent figures were unavailable: Moreno, 1981).
We predict that Sunda clouded leopard connectivity in the region can be greatly enhanced through the protection of privately owned forest patches and the reforestation of underproductive oil palm plantation areas, and creation of a forested buffer zone along the river.
— Promoting soil restoration and reforestation efforts, while working with governments and nongovernmental organizations to establish protective zones and employ more balanced land-use practices.
5. Discuss possible reforestation strategies with WWF that could increase corridor connectivity or assist with buffer zones to protect forest boundaries.
Given the long lives of trees and rapid changes in future climate, there have recently been increasing calls for prospective seed zones, in which seeds from warmer provenances are intentionally used for reforestation projects to ensure that the resulting trees will grow optimally in future climates (Wang et al. 2010).
Some even insist that, looked at purely on a ecological level, war can be good for the planet, citing the spontaneous reforestation of post-conflict Puerto Rico from the 1950s and the lush, biodiverse hotspot in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea.
