- •
Restoration involved a combination of fire protection and replanting native species.
- •
After 18 years of regeneration, biomass is 12% of that seen in old-growth forest.
- •
The biomass of planted and naturally regenerating stems is 70% and 30% respectively.
- •
47,000 Mg C has been sequestered in the 3200 ha already planted in Kibale.
- •
Tree species richness increased by 2 species per 0.05 ha plot between 2005 and 2013.
