Land-based carbon sequestration projects, such as tree planting, are a prominent strategy to offset carbon emissions. However, we risk reducing natural ecosystems to one metric - carbon. Emphasis on restoring ecosystems to balance ecosystem services, biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration is a more appropriate strategy to protect their functioning.
陆地碳封存项目,如植树造林,是抵消碳排放的重要策略。然而,我们有将自然生态系统简化为单一碳汇的风险。强调恢复生态系统以平衡生态系统服务、生物多样性保护和碳封存,是保护其功能的更恰当策略。
