A new study, published in Nature Sustainability, shows satellite images displaying the leafy cover across the globe which has grown by 2.3% per decade since the 1980s. A main driver is the “fertilization effect” which is brought about by humans burning fossil fuels. When plants take up more gas, in this case, CO2, they produce more food and create new leaves. Researchers also found that planting more trees and crops is aiding in the growth. China and India have contributed to approximately a third of the greening since 2000, mainly by forests and farms. The satellite images revealed that only five percent of the vegetated areas are browning.

"A new study, published in Nature Sustainability, shows satellite images displaying the leafy cover across the globe which has grown by 2.3% per decade since the 1980s." I think that "which" does not fit in this sentence. It should just be "...leafy cover across the globe has grown by...".
You should put the second to
You should put the second to last sentence after the first sentence because it goes well together. As the increase is due to China and India planting more greens.

You say "2.3%" in the beginning but later on switch to say "five percent" be consistent and maybe say 5% the second time.
