Challenges for implementing zero deforestation commitments in a highly forested country
Understanding zero deforestation and the High Carbon Stock Approach in a highly forested tropical country
Countering the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation through habitat restoration
Resilience of tropical, freshwater fish ( Nematabramis everetti ) populations to severe drought over a land-use gradient in Borneo
Biodiversity-rich forests in tropical Southeast Asia are being extensively logged and converted to oil-palm monocultures. In addition, extreme climatic events such as droughts are becoming more common. Land-use change and extreme climatic events are thought to have synergistic impacts on aquatic biodiversity, but few studies have directly tested this. A severe El Niño drought in Southeast Asia in early 2016 caused 16 low-order hill streams across…
Drought cuts back regeneration in logged tropical forests
Logged tropical forests represent a major opportunity for preserving biodiversity and sequestering carbon, playing a large role in meeting global forest restoration targets. Left alone, these ecosystems have been expected to undergo natural regeneration and succession towards old growth forests, but extreme drought events may challenge this process. While old growth forests possess a certain level of resilience, we lack understanding as to how lo…
El Niño drought and tropical forest conversion synergistically determine mosquito development rate
Extreme warming events can profoundly alter the transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne 3 diseases by affecting mosquito life-history traits (e.g. survival, growth and reproduction). At 4 considering the synergistic effects of land-use and seasonal climate variations for predicting the 22 thermal response of a key mosquito life-history trait driving disease transmission dynamics. 23 24 25
Habitat fragmentation and its lasting impact on Earth’s ecosystems
Urgent need for conservation and restoration measures to improve landscape connectivity.
Global effects of land use on local terrestrial biodiversity
Deadwood biomass
Presentation given during Foresr Resilience Symposium at INTECOL 2013
Boom-and-Bust Development Patterns Across the Amazon Deforestation Frontier
Boom and Bust The Brazilian Amazon is renowned for its biodiversity and for its influence on climate regulation and geochemical cycles. It is also one of the country's poorest regions. For decades, much economic development has been pursued through conversion of forest for agriculture and cattle-ranching. Rodrigues et al. (p. 1435 ) investigated whether this pattern of land use brings lasting prosperity by analyzing data on the economic developme…
Do increases in agricultural yield spare land for nature?
Feeding a rapidly expanding human population will require a large increase in the supply of agricultural products during the coming decades. This may lead to the transformation of many landscapes from natural vegetation cover to agricultural land use, unless increases in crop yields reduce the need for new farmland. Here, we assess the evidence that past increases in agricultural yield have spared land for wild nature. We investigated the relatio…
