China played a major role, adding 25% to this increase, and India added 6.8%, followed by Canada and Russia. The study in the Nature Sustainability journal shows that more than 5.5 million square kilometers of green leaf area was added globally. Since 2000, there has been a five-percent increase in global green cover, it said.“The greening over the last twenty years shows an increase in leaf area on plants and trees which is as large as the area of the entire Amazon rainforest, Chi Chen, a Boston University researcher and lead of the study told Nature Sustainability. Large plantation activities to protect forests in China contributed nearly 42% to the countrys green cover, and agriculture added another 32%. In India, 82% of the increase in leaf area was because of agriculture.“China and India take up one-third of the greening, but hold only nine percent of the planets land area covered in green plants, Chi Chen told NASA Earth Observatory. “That is a surprising finding, considering the land degradation(退化) in countries with large populations.”Boston Universitys research team first detected an increase in global green cover in the 1990s but were unsure about what contributed to the increase. Finally, with the help of NASAs Terra and Aqua satellites research, they managed to find out the increase in leaf cover from different areas and places.25.
