a Annual area of identified regrowth of PSFs and mangroves between 2001 and 2022. b Annual CO2e removals generated by regrowth of PSFs and mangroves between 2001 and 2022. c Revegetation and rewetting potential for selected land-use types in what were PSFs and mangroves as of 2022. d Estimated potential reductions in CO2e emissions for selected land-use types and restoration scenarios (i.e., mangrove revegetation and peatland rewetting and revegetation). Further information on the detailed CO2e removal factors and assumptions for calculating potential reductions in CO2e emissions can be found in the Methods. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
