Forestry Professor David Skole receives $2 million grant to examine carbon storage potential and economic impact of tree systems on rural and agricultural lands
TOF systems, like the one pictured in India, include sparsely treed ecosystems and a variety of tree-based production systems. Tree-based systems provide important value chains for natural products and numerous indirect co-benefits for billions of people. MSU AgBioResearch scientist David Skole is partnering with NASA to map tree systems outside of forests and learn more about their impact.
MSU AgBioResearch scientist David Skole is partnering with NASA to use advanced satellite technology to precisely map tree systems — including individual trees and small tree systems living outside of traditional canopy forests — to provide perspective of the planet’s total tree cover and potential for climate change mitigation efforts.
