  • Community sawmills can save forests

    Open AccessDaniela A Miteva, Edward A Ellis et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2025

    Integrated conservation and development efforts in low- and middle-income countries have emphasized the devolution of forest management to local communities. This approach is posited to benefit both communities and conservation, but those benefits may depend on community capacity to capture value added, e.g., by processing forest products. In Mexico, most forests are under community management, but only some communities have vertically integrated…

  • Aboveground forest biomass varies across continents, ecological zones and successional stages

    Open AccessDanaë M A Rozendaal, Daniela Requena Suarez et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    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…

  • Lower cost and more feasible options to restore forest cover in the contiguous United States for climate mitigation

    Open AccessSusan C Cook‐Patton, Trisha Gopalakrishna et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2020

    Restoring forest cover is a prominent option for climate mitigation. Effective deployment requires knowing where opportunities are and how they vary in carbon capture, costs, co-benefits, and feasibility. Here, we combined spatial, economic, and feasibility analyses to examine 10 different opportunity classes for restoration of forest cover across the contiguous United States. These include non-stocked forests, shrublands, protected areas, post-b…

  • Land-Management Options for Greenhouse Gas Removal and Their Impacts on Ecosystem Services and the Sustainable Development Goals

    Open AccessPete Smith, Justin Adams et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2019

    Land-management options for greenhouse gas removal (GGR) include afforestation or reforestation (AR), wetland restoration, soil carbon sequestration (SCS), biochar, terrestrial enhanced weathering (TEW), and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). We assess the opportunities and risks associated with these options through the lens of their potential impacts on ecosystem services (Nature's Contributions to People; NCPs) and the United N…

  • Larger gains from improved management over sparing–sharing for tropical forests

  • Natural climate solutions for the United States

    Open AccessJoseph Fargione, Steven Bassett et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2018

    U.S. land management can contribute 1.2 Pg CO 2 e year −1 of greenhouse gas mitigation, 76% of which costs USD 50 Mg CO 2 e −1 or less.

  • Natural climate solutions

    Open AccessBronson W Griscom, Justin Adams et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2017

    Significance Most nations recently agreed to hold global average temperature rise to well below 2 °C. We examine how much climate mitigation nature can contribute to this goal with a comprehensive analysis of “natural climate solutions” (NCS): 20 conservation, restoration, and/or improved land management actions that increase carbon storage and/or avoid greenhouse gas emissions across global forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural lands. …

  • Commodity production as restoration driver in the Brazilian Amazon? Pasture re-agro-forestation with cocoa (Theobroma cacao) in southern Pará

    Open AccessGötz Schroth, Edenise Garcia et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2015Cited by: 5References: 5

    The increasing demand for agricultural commodities is a major cause of tropical deforestation. However, pressure is increasing for greater sustainability of commodity value chains. This includes the demand to establish new crop plantations and pasture areas on already deforested land so that new forest clearing for agriculture is minimized. Where tree crops are planted as part of agroforestry systems on deforested land, this amounts to a form of …

  • Formative-Period Subsistence and Forest-Product Extraction at the Yarumela Site, Honduras

    Open AccessDavid L Lentz, Carlos R Ramírez et al.ARTICLEAncient Mesoamerica1997Cited by: 6References: 21

    Analysis of paleoethnobotanical remains from the Yaramela site in central Honduras has provided insights into subsistence activities, resource-extraction preferences from surrounding ecological zones, and the transfer of plant materials through interregional exchange networks during the Formative and Late Classic periods. Remains of maize (Zea mays) and squash (Cucurbitasp.) were found as well as the wood of a number of tree species, for example,…
