Nasa Says Earth Is Greener Today Than 20 Years Ago Thanks To China The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago, as shown on this map, where areas with the greatest increase in foliage are indicated in dark green. data from a nasa instrument orbiting earth aboard two satellites show that human activity in china and india dominate this greening of the planet. A new study shows that china and india—the world’s most populous countries—are leading the increase in greening on land. the effect comes mostly from ambitious tree planting programs in china and intensive agriculture in both countries. ranga myneni of boston university and colleagues first detected the greening phenomenon in satellite.
Earth Is Greener Largely Thanks To China And India Nasa Satellite The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago, as shown on this map, where areas with the greatest increase in foliage are indicated in dark green. data from a nasa instrument orbiting earth aboard two satellites show that human activity in china and india dominate this greening of the planet.credits: nasa earth observatory. Forestry programs may explain china’s expanding green landscape. “china is engineering ambitious programs to conserve and expand forests with the goal of mitigating land degradation, air pollution and climate change,” chen said. indeed, the researchers discovered that much of china’s greening, about 42 percent, is from forests. The greening in china is from forests (42%) and croplands (32%), but in india is mostly from croplands (82%) with minor contribution from forests (4.4%). china is engineering ambitious programmes. Despite the loss of vast tracts of tropical forest, earth has grown markedly greener since the turn of the millennium — with the most profound changes seen in china and india. chi chen at boston.
Nasa Happily Reports The Earth Is Greener With More Trees Than 20 The greening in china is from forests (42%) and croplands (32%), but in india is mostly from croplands (82%) with minor contribution from forests (4.4%). china is engineering ambitious programmes. Despite the loss of vast tracts of tropical forest, earth has grown markedly greener since the turn of the millennium — with the most profound changes seen in china and india. chi chen at boston. The land area used to grow crops – more than 770,000 square miles – is comparable in china and india and it has not changed much since the early 2000s; yet these regions have greatly increased. Cnn —. the earth is facing a climate crisis, but it’s also getting greener and leafier. according to new research, the rise is largely courtesy of china and india. a study by nasa, based on.
