25 -year study states that forests with five tree species capture 57% more carbon compared to monocultures

A recent study of the University of Friburg has shown that mixed forests, those that contain various tree species, are significantly more efficient in carbon capture than monocultures. These findings reinforce the importance of promoting forest diversity as a key strategy against climate change.
