International study: Forests with high species diversity store more carbon
Wichtigste Punkte
- An international study showed that forests rich in tree species store more carbon.
- The study was published in Nature Communications by scientists such as Jiehao Zhang and Peter Reich.
- It was determined that forests with high species diversity regulate water better and protect the soil more strongly.
- Conicet researcher Pablo Peri stated that forest conservation strategies need to be updated based on these findings.
An international study published in the journal Nature Communications has revealed that forests with high tree species diversity possess critical advantages for the ecosystem. The study, signed by Jiehao Zhang, Peter Reich, and more than twenty scientists, proves that biodiversity directly enhances the functional strength of forests.
Accordingly, forests containing more species play a significant role in combating climate change by storing much more carbon compared to single-species forests. It was also stated that these forests, which better regulate the water cycle and protect the soil against erosion, strengthen the balance of nature.
One of the contributors to the research is Argentine Pablo Peri, a Conicet researcher and coordinator of the INTA national forest program at the National University of Patagonia Austral (UNPA) located in Santa Cruz. In light of the obtained data, the scientist proposes a re-evaluation of current forest conservation and management strategies.
