Abstract

Plantation forestry plays a vital role in combating climate change and promoting sustainable development by providing renewable resources, sequestering carbon, and supporting economic growth. This review examines the contributions of plantation forestry to climate change mitigation, including carbon sequestration and substitution effects, as well as the challenges and opportunities for sustainable development. We explore key aspects such as genetic diversity, pest and disease management, soil conservation, social dimensions, and emerging technologies. By assessing the current state of plantation forestry and identifying future directions, this review highlights the importance of plantation forestry in addressing global environmental challenges while fostering sustainable development.
