These results negate traditional belief propose that an increase forests through proper continuous management is conducive to mitigating emissions. Additionally, decomposition direct indirect effects confirmed local effect, spillover neighboring regions. concludes emission one province effect provide several policy implications are fruitful environmental makers while drafting rules policies, such as introducing rather than increasing areas without research management.
