Abstract

Tropical forest restoration is widely promoted as a nature-based climate solution, but its potential to restore hydrological functions impaired by deforestation remains unclear. Now, satellite observations show that forest gain can increase evapotranspiration and precipitation more than forest loss reduces them, with prominent asymmetry in South America and Africa.

热带森林恢复可以抵消森林砍伐造成的水通量损失，但并非所有地方都是如此

热带森林恢复作为一种基于自然的气候解决方案被广泛推广，但其恢复因毁林而受损的水文功能的潜力仍不清楚。现在，卫星观测表明，森林增收增加蒸散和降水的作用大于森林损失减少蒸散和降水的作用，这在南美洲和非洲表现出明显的不对称性。
