- The role of trees and plantation agriculture in mitigating global climate change (2017) · African Journal of Food Agriculture Nutrition and Development · cited 14× · doi
The roles of plantations in mitigating global climate change are related, but not limited to the following: the influence of trees on the hydrologic cycle, the barrier against destructive windstorm and desertification, conservation of the soil surface against erosion and intense heat, binding action of the dense root system, sustainable biodiversity, provision of renewable and bioenergy, nutritious food, employment, and rural income, and the reservoir of sequestered carbon.
