WORCESTER, Massachusetts, March 27 (TNSres) -- Clark University issued the following news:
As efforts to restore tree cover accelerate to help avoid runaway climate change, a study by Clark University researchers highlights how restoring tree cover can, in some locations, heat up the Earth rather than cool it by affecting how much sunlight the surface reflects (called "the albedo").
