Wrong tree varieties are being planted to offset CO2 emissions, ecologists warn
NL TimesEcologists warn the Netherlands is planting the wrong varieties of trees to offset CO2 emissions, Nu.nl reports. Although reforesting is an important way to reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere, native species of trees and shrubs are often overlooked for foreign ones, disrupting the ecological balance of Dutch forests. However, only two to three percent of Dutch forests today have substantial amounts of wild trees and shrubs, ecologist Bert Maes told Nu.nl. Professor of plant ecology Joop Schaminée told Nu.nl the Netherlands has 18 native rose varieties, but instead, most municipalities plant roses from China.
