  • Anticipated impacts of achieving SDG targets on forests - a review

    Open AccessJamie Carr, Jamie A Carr et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2021

    Sustainable development requires knowledge of trade-offs and synergies between environmental and non-environmental goals and targets. Understanding the ways in which positive progress in matters of development not directly concerned with the environment can affect the natural environment, whether for better or for worse, can allow policymakers and development agencies to avoid the negative impacts of their actions, while capitalising on mutually …

  • Anthropocene

    Open AccessMark Maslin, Mark A Maslin et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2015Cited by: 13References: 37

    The concept of the Anthropocene has created a profound paradigm shift within the scientific community that may well create equally important changes in philosophy and politics. There is general scientific agreement that human activity has been a geologically recent, yet profound, influence on the Earth System. The magnitude, variety and longevity of human-induced changes, to the lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, sugg…

  • A transparent framework for defining the Anthropocene Epoch

    Open AccessSu Lin Lewis, Simon L Lewis et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2015Cited by: 12References: 34

    Lewis and Maslin (2015) applied modern geological requirements to a systematic search for evidence of markers that could be used to define a new geological time unit, the Anthropocene Epoch. These must include (1) a near-permanent change to the Earth System that sets it on to a new trajectory and (2) global changes to the Earth System recorded in a number of stratigraphic deposits worldwide to provide a correlative boundary event or marker called…

  • Benchmark map of forest carbon stocks in tropical regions across three continents

    Open AccessSassan Saatchi, Sassan S Saatchi et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2011

    Developing countries are required to produce robust estimates of forest carbon stocks for successful implementation of climate change mitigation policies related to reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). Here we present a “benchmark” map of biomass carbon stocks over 2.5 billion ha of forests on three continents, encompassing all tropical forests, for the early 2000s, which will be invaluable for REDD assessments at both pr…
