a The spatial patterns of afforestation. b The spatial patterns of densification potential. c Proportion of ‘Densification’ versus ‘Afforestation’ as a function of the definition threshold for tree cover, with the blue dashed line indicating the current official forest cover in China (24.02% in 2023), and the red curve showing the variation in national forest cover with changes in the definition threshold for tree cover.
