  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo#Terrestrial_albedo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo#Terrestrial_albedo Albedo of a conifer forest is 0.08 to 0.15, albedo of new concrete is 0.55. The climate change effects of reforestation are addressed later on in the same article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo#Trees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo#Trees
