Trophic rewilding pumas and guanacos: estimating the potential to enhance carbon sequestration in a Patagonian grassland ecosystem

This paper models the carbon capture potential of rewilding pumas and guanacos in Patagonian grasslands, finding that rewilding could increase carbon capture and storage by up to 2.5 times compared to a no-rewilding baseline.
