How to Plan Reforestation

Reforestation restores forest cover to sequester carbon and rebuild ecosystems.

Formula

Trees Needed = Area * Planting Density

Cost = Trees * Cost per Tree

Planting Density

  • Dense restoration: 1,000-1,600 trees/ha
  • Moderate: 600-1,000 trees/ha
  • Agroforestry: 200-400 trees/ha

    • A new forest can sequester 5-10 metric tons CO2/ha/year once established.

    Ejemplo Resuelto

    Reforest 50 hectares at 1,100 trees/ha, $2.50/tree, over 20 years.

    1. Total trees: 50 * 1,100 = 55,000 trees
    2. Cost: 55,000 * $2.50 = $137,500
    3. Annual sequestration: 50 * 5 = 250 metric tons CO2/year
    4. Total carbon: 250 * 20 = 5,000 metric tons CO2
    5. Cost per ton: $137,500 / 5,000 = $27.50/ton
