一项新的研究表明，由于抵消因素，扩大森林对减缓气候变化的影响可能有限。 A new study indicates that expanding forests may have a limited impact on climate change mitigation due to offsetting factors.
一项新的研究表明，由于复杂的副作用，扩大森林可能会限制其应对气候变化的潜力。 A new study reveals that expanding forests could limit their potential to tackle climate change due to complex side effects. 研究人员利用地球大气、陆地和海洋的模型发现，虽然造林增加了二氧化碳的清除，但其他温室气体和地表反射率的变化可能会部分抵消这些好处。 Using models of Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans, researchers found that while forestation increases carbon dioxide removal, changes to other greenhouse gases and the reflectivity of the land surface may partially offset these benefits. 这项由谢菲尔德大学领导并发表在《科学》杂志上的研究表明，造林对减缓气候变化的积极影响可能比之前想象的要小。 The study, led by the University of Sheffield and published in the journal Science, suggests that the positive impact of forestation on climate change mitigation may be smaller than previously thought.
