Research from the University of Waterloo indicates that strategically planting trees along Canada’s boreal forest could sequester up to 19 gigatonnes of CO₂ by 2100. The study, published in Communications Earth & Environment, uses satellite data and modeling to assess the carbon removal potential, emphasizing the importance of replanting on historically forested lands. It highlights that targeted tree planting is crucial for maximizing carbon storage and ecological outcomes, contributing to Canada's carbon neutrality goals by 2050.
