Dissecting forest transition
Forest Transition (FT) is a theoretical framework for understanding tree cover changes but often overlooks differences within countries, across forest types (e.g., second-growth forests, tree plantations replacing natural forests), regions, and climates. We quantified tropical tree cover dynamics across eight regions in four tropical countries, examining how these patterns relate to FT and how they vary between climates and forest types. Each cou…
Mining tailings severely impact plant communities in a rainforest watershed
Aboveground forest biomass varies across continents, ecological zones and successional stages
For monitoring and reporting forest carbon stocks and fluxes, many countries in the tropics and subtropics rely on default values of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. Default IPCC forest AGB values originated from 2006, and are relatively crude estimates of average values per continent and ecological zone. The 2006 default values wer…
Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests
Carbon sequestration potential of second-growth forest regeneration in the Latin American tropics
Models reveal the high carbon mitigation potential of tropical forest regeneration.
