Where this comes from

Abstract

The world's forests store an estimated 861 billion tonnes of carbon-equivalent to approximately 100 years worth of anthropogenic emissions, at current rates-and with good husbandry could potentially store up to 226 billion tonnes more. Clearly, preserving and repairing forests is a vital element of mitigating climate breakdown.
