Global map showing the study sites included in the meta-analysis (a) and the relationship between mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) of the study sites (b).

Tree planting had an overall minimal effect on soil fauna communities across multiple former ecosystem types at the global scale, but for a specific former ecosystem type (such as deserts), the impact of #Reforestation may vary.

We have the power to restore what has been lost. 💪
Through afforestation, we can transform degraded lands into thriving ecosystems. We can reestablish natural landscapes and improve air quality for generations to come. The solution is rooted in the ground. 🌱 #Afforestation #HealTheEarth

China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink Huge-scale ecological engineering around the edges of one of the world's largest and driest deserts has turned it into a carbon sink that absorbs more CO2 than it emits, research suggests.

[1/6] Une étude montre que l’afforestation autour du désert du #Taklamakan transforme ses marges en puits de carbone. Ce désert de 337.000 km², longtemps qualifié de "vide biologique", absorbe désormais plus de CO2 qu’il n’en émet. #geography #desertification #afforestation #China

The #EARTHONE pilot in Slovenia studies the shift from grassland to forest, measuring soil organic matter, microbial activity and CO₂/CH₄/N₂O emissions. It builds on 15 years of monitoring to understand how #afforestation shapes soil health and carbon storage.

Figure 6 in Hu et al. (2026): "Relationship between microbial diversity and network complexity, network complexity and stability (A), Structural equation modelings (SEMs) showed the effect of high diversifying afforestation, soil total carbon (TC) and microbial alpha diversity on microbial network complexity and stability (bacteria for B, Fungi for C). Black arrow indicates the positive effect. ∗, ∗∗ and ∗∗∗ indicated P < 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001, respectively."
