Caption
A team member spreads fertilizer on a recently abandoned pasture plot. White tubes mark locations in the plot so researchers can locate trees as they grow back. After four years, the trees in this plot were taller than the researchers, and the forest stored twice as much carbon when they had sufficient nitrogen compared to when they did not.
