(3/4) Our analysis showed that the highest-density planting in #SnaizeholmeValley was targeted in areas with estimated #soil #carbonstocks around 20 t C ha⁻¹ lower than the unplanted areas. It’s an example of how strategic woodland design can safeguard important soil #carbonstocks.

Darvill et al. share their experience investigating soil organic carbon stocks in a new native woodland in the Yorkshire Dales, UK, highlighting the importance of careful woodland design. Targeting…
Careful woodland design can avoid planting on high-carbon soils. In the Yorkshire Dales, tree planting targeted lower SOC areas, showing new guidelines and standards help protect soil carbon in uplan....
(2/4) Snaizeholme Valley is one of the largest upland woodland creation projects in the #YorkshireDales, forming a part of the #WhiteRoseForest #NorthernForest. Its carefully planned tree planting is designed to boost #naturerecovery, and #climatechange mitigation benefits at a landscape scale.
