Carbon stocks of billions of individual African dryland trees estimated

The fewer trees there are, the more important they become. This is especially true in dryland ecosystems, where scattered trees provide a range of crucial environmental services and benefits to local inhabitants. Indeed, trees will be instrumental in helping dryland communities meet many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Detailed information about trees is essential for managing and restoring dryland ecosystems, and for understanding their role in storing carbon as the climate changes, yet such data have been lacking.
