The article emphasizes the importance of establishing a solid scientific foundation for nature-based climate solutions (NbCS) in the United States. While NbCS have gained support, their implementation has outpaced scientific understanding. The article highlights challenges in evaluating and monitoring NbCS, such as a lack of data and standardized protocols. The authors propose a hierarchical system of networks, open data sharing, and improved monitoring approaches to develop robust and credible NbCS programs. They also suggest prioritizing measurements from various sources, including eddy covariance flux towers, soil and biomass inventories, and satellite data. By investing in data collection and research, the US can reduce risks and develop a scientific basis for NbCS. [Extracted from the article]
