Feasibility of woodland expansion for carbon offsetting in Scotland revisited
Complementary effects of biodiversity and ecosystem services on spatial targeting for agri-environment payments
Landscape multi-functionality is often valued by scientists and appreciated by citizens. In agro-ecosystems this often translates into policy that aims to protect biodiversity through conservation incentives, sometimes spatially targeted to decrease the impact of productive activities. Incentive schemes that aim at protecting a range of other benefits, are still rare. Resources are often limited and spatial heterogeneity can be high, so there is …
Barking up the wrong tree? Can forest expansion help meet climate goals
Forest expansion can make an important contribution to the 2015 Paris Agreement, through offsetting Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. EU, UK and Scottish forest policy encourages substantial forest expansion. Unfortunately, policy is still inadequately informed by high resolution data, and often assumes a fairly homogenous landscape, uniformly suitable soil types and idealised ‘average’ tree timber yields, while carbon emissions caused by soil dist…
Soil carbon 4 per mille
The ‘4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was launched at the COP21 with an aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4 %) per year as a compensation for the global emissions of greenhouse gases by anthropogenic sources. This paper surveyed the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimates and sequestration potentials from 20 regions in the world (New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Tanzania, In…
A social–ecological systems analysis of impediments to delivery of the Aichi 2020 Targets and potentially more effective pathways to the conservation of biodiversity
The Aichi 2020 Targets, under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), aim to halt the loss of biodiversity by 2020, in order to ensure that ecosystems continue to provide essential services. Here we apply a social–ecological systems analysis to provide insight into the diverse system interactions that pose impediments to delivery of the Aichi Targets. We applied an analytical framework of pair-wise exchanges along six axes between the socia…
