Land use changes has led to the disappearance of trees from many dryland landscapes in recent centuries, like in western North American and northern China, often accompanied by desertification. Reforestation has the potential to restore these ecosystems and help keep more carbon in soils, especially when natural regeneration is being outpaced by human pressures.
