BoreaRL: A Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning Environment for Climate-Adaptive Boreal Forest Management
Kevin Bradley Dsouza, Enoch Ofosu, Daniel Chukwuemeka Amaogu +5
Boreal forests store 30-40\% of terrestrial carbon, much in climate-vulnerable permafrost soils, making their management critical for climate mitigation. However, optimizing forest…

Boreal Afforestation's Underestimated Cloud Influence on Earth's Energy Imbalance
Enoch Ofosu, Kevin Bradley Dsouza, Daniel Chukwuemeka Amaogu +5
Earth's Energy Imbalance (EEI) is accelerating, partly due to declining planetary albedo from reduced cloud cover. Boreal afforestation can either mitigate or exacerbate this trend…

Climate benefits of afforestation and reforestation with varying species mixtures and densities in the north-western boreal lands
Enoch Ofosu, Kevin Bradley Dsouza, Daniel Chukwuemeka Amaogu +5
The boreal forest plays a crucial role as a global carbon sink. This study uses two 250-year simulations of Canada's Taiga Plains, an area targeted by the 2 Billion Trees Program t…
