These regrowing forests have shown to be a persistent carbon sink, projected to continue for decades, however, there are early signs of saturation. Forest policies and management strategies need revision if we want to sustain the sink DO - https://doi.org/10.1038/nclimate1853 T2 - Nature Climate Change ER -
