However, the extent to which these activities capture CO₂ with associated climate mitigation impacts are poorly known, especially in geographies where data on biomass growth of restored forests are limited or do not exist. To fill this gap, we developed biomass accumulation rates for a set of FLR activities (natural regeneration, planted forests and woodlots, agroforestry, and mangrove restoration) across the globe and global CO₂ removal rates with corresponding confidence intervals, grouped by FLR activity and region/climate.<h4>Results</h4>Planted Carbon balance and managementGlobal carbon dioxide removal rates from forest landscape restoration activities.PMC6246754AVUS-00085AVUS-00065Murray LTBernal BPearson TRHfalseGlobal carbon dioxide removal rates from forest landscape restoration activities.<h4>Background</h4>Forest landscape restoration (FLR) has been adopted by governments and practitioners across the globe to mitigate and adapt to climate change and restore ecological functions across degraded landscapes.
