Forests can help fight climate change, but restoring them is complex and context-specific. Some areas thrive when left alone, while others need strategic help, like planting trees or excluding grazers. In Arkansas, researchers are testing different methods to rebuild woodland ecosystems, aiming to find the most effective path to biodiversity and carbon absorption. Letting nature lead—carefully—might be the key.
