Evans, Megan C.; Carwardine, Josie; Fensham, Rod J.; Butler, Don W.; Wilson, Kerrie A.; Possingham, Hugh P.; Martin, Tara G.

Description

Carbon farming in agricultural landscapes may provide a cost-effective mechanism for offsetting carbon emissions while delivering co-benefits for biodiversity through ecosystem restoration. Reforestation of landscapes using native tree and shrub species, termed environmental plantings, has been recognized as a carbon offset methodology which can contribute to biodiversity conservation as well as climate mitigation. However, far less attention has been paid to the potential for assisted natural...[Show more]
