"The forest anchored by native tree species thus yields a far deeper carbon sink, up to 42 times more than plantations of non-native species.
It is the whole system — not just the anchor trees — that is the carbon sink. So while trees alone don’t necessarily offer a durable carbon drawdown solution, forests do."
