Planting Trees Encourages Cloud Formation—and Efficiently Cools the Planet

Some scientists questioned the benefit of replanting #forests in midaltitude regions because of albedo—the ability of the Earth’s surface to reflect sunlight—when deciduous #trees lose leaves during cold seasons, reports Martin Woolridge in the Daily Guardian. The #Princeton researchers point out that theory ignores an important consideration.

If done right, restoring and protecting forests can benefit us and the planet in so many ways - including increasing cloud coverage and helping cool the planet. — Community Forests International https://forestsinternational.org/
