Bioeconomy gaps and opportunities in restored Atlantic forests

Forest restoration faces persistent challenges for its financial viability due to high land opportunity costs and insufficient financial returns from restored areas, such as through payments for ecosystem services and timber production. A potential financial pathway is to develop non-timber forest products with bioeconomic potential. Here, we explore the bioeconomic potential of native tree species growing in different types of new wooded lands in Atlantic forests. First, we established 25 30
