Reforestation can not only sequester carbon, but also change the surface albedo, which is an important intervention in climate change. How the canopy/understory structure of secondary forests formed after reforestation affects the seasonal variation of forest albedo, as well as the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (FAPAR), remains unclear.
