Abstract

Trees can provide a multitude of ecosystem services. The current push to plant trees, motivated by the goal of sequestering carbon, raises the question of how tree diversity affects carbon sequestration and other services offered by afforestation/reforestation projects. This Perspective examines the potential benefits of mixed tree planting over a monoculture approach.
