[edit]

Lead Section:

The lead section concisely introduces bio-geoengineering and its role in climate engineering, which is a great start. Additionally linking the "selective plant breeding" or "genetic engineering," as noted in the "Albedo Modification" section, enhances the leading section. However, it would be good to incorporate a brief mention of the potential impact on regional surface warming as it could offer a more comprehensive overview and prepare the reader for the content that follows.

Article Structure:

The article’s structure, with sections like "Leaf Glossiness" and "Canopy Morphology," effectively categorizes different aspects of bio-geoengineering. However, the "Advantages" section appears after detailed technical descriptions. I believe it would be more effective to place it earlier, possibly after the "Albedo Modification" section. This rearrangement might make the article more engaging and easier to follow.

Balance of Coverage:

Your article provides a balanced view of bio-geoengineering potential and challenges. However, some sections seem relatively brief compared to the "Advantages," but I understand that these are topics that have yet to be written. Once those sections are written this would ensure a more equal representation of throughout the article.

Neutral Content:

The article generally maintains a neutral tone. However, phrases like "much fewer risks" in the "Advantages" section might imply a subjective assessment. It would be more neutral to present specific risks and let the readers draw their own conclusions.

Reliable Sources:

The references from Ridgwell et al. and Davies-Barnard provide a strong scientific foundation for the article and I know that you have met the requirement. If you would like, the article could benefit from additional sources to support statements to the sections not written yet or to add more depth to the “Advantages” sections. This would increase the article's credibility and provide a well-rounded perspective.
