Energy transition from firewood to LPG triggers large-scale greening trend
The Ujjwala scheme, launched in 2016 by the Government of India, aimed to provide LPG access to poor households. In the Indian province of Jharkhand, the Ujjwala scheme successfully increased LPG access from 25 % in 2015 to 75 % in 2020. As such, an abrupt increase in LPG can influence firewood consumption patterns and forest biomass, so we examined temporal trends in MODIS-NDVI time-series data for forested areas of Jharkhand. We observed a subs…
Unraveling meteorological drivers of leaf phenology in the Western Ghats, India
Tropical semi-evergreen forests show 17-day/decade reduction in growing season length. • NPP declines in semi-evergreen & moist deciduous forests at −4.0 × 10–3 kg C/m2 per year. • Leaf flushing is driven by minimum temperature and humidity. • Maximum temperature and PAR are key factors controlling leaf fall. Phenology, the study of periodic biological events in relation to biotic and abiotic factors, is a critical indicator of ecosystem dynamics…
India’s pathway to net zero by 2070
The announcement of India’s 2070 net-zero target has demonstrated the power of a credible policy signal and changed the course of India’s climate debate. While the Government of India (GoI) has not specified whether this target refers to carbon-dioxide or all greenhouse gases, the announcement has been a watershed moment in India’s climate policy. From questions related to whether and at what pace should India decarbonize its economy, various act…
Saline Soil Reclamation Index as an efficient tool for assessing restoration progress of saline land
Restoration of degraded land is imperative for addressing climate change, deriving additional benefits such as biomass and biofuel for supporting a biobased economy and also for meeting various targets of the Bonn Challenge and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN‐SDGs). In this context, the present research aimed to evaluate the performance of mixed biomass plantations on the saline land of western India over a period of 4 years. The impact …
