Hoi,
Wikimedia is now associated with a project where trees are planted.

In many ways the notion of planting new trees is great. 

However, very often it is not. In Europe grazers are actively introduced to prevent shrubs and trees from growing. Reasons for this abound. The first is that it helps biodiversity. Second, trees often create a fire risk. Third, when trees are in the seed bank, you do not have to plant them, they will grow when they are left alone to grow. When they are not in the local seed bank, trophic rewilding will introduce the species that distribute seeds and/or you can plant trees as a starter for a seed bank.

When you really really want to make a difference, you protect marshes, prevent peat from burning or being exploited. You can prevent water rushing to sea by introducing leaky weirs/beavers and adding swales to prevent water to rush downstream. There is plenty of literature to be found on these subject in Wikidata. For Wikipedia there is a recent template that links a reference in a Wikipedia article to the item for the paper in Wikidata.

When you really care to understand a paper, you use the Scholia for a paper to learn more about what the publication is about.. Yes, more effort to expose scientific papers would be cool. This [1] is an example of a paper I am working on at the moment.
Thanks,
