These summaries are really lacking. I read it. But then I read the article and I feel like there's a disconnect.

Like the summary brought up "40% increase in woody cover resulted in a ~30% reduction in the diversity of plants and ants"

But really, the key word I would prefer to have seen is "afforestation".

The researchers analyzed literature from various studies on the growing trend of tree plantations for carbon capture. They saw that some tree plantations did reforest land. But in many cases, these projects actually do something called afforestation. This is where previously un-forested regions, like grasslands, are transformed into forests. This may sequester some carbon, but it hurts native wildlife that are not adapted for forest ecosystems. “In the Brazilian Cerrado (savanna) a 40% increase in woody cover resulted in a ~30% reduction in the diversity of plants and ants,” the study authors wrote.
