Sonntag, Sebastian; et al. (2016): Reforestation in a high-CO2 world-Higher mitigation potential than expected, lower adaptation potential than hoped for

Sonntag, Sebastian; Pongratz, Julia; Reick, Christian H.; Schmidt, Hauke (2016): Reforestation in a high-CO 2 world-Higher mitigation potential than expected, lower adaptation potential than hoped for. In Geophys. Res. Lett. 43 (12), pp. 6546–6553. DOI 10.1002/2016GL068824.

„We assess the potential and possible consequences for the global climate of a strong reforestation scenario for this century. We perform model experiments using the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM), forced by fossil-fuel CO₂ emissions according to the high-emission scenario Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5, but using land use transitions according to RCP4.5, which assumes strong reforestation.“
