Scientists project that converting up to 25% of U.S. croplands and rangelands back to forests of native trees would substantially increase carbon uptake, slowing the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This land-use change would sequester significant amounts of carbon in trees and soils, helping to mitigate climate change while also providing co-benefits for biodiversity, soil health, and water resources.
