  • A review of planting principles to identify the right place for the right tree for ‘net zero plus’ woodlands

    Open AccessIan J Bateman, Karen Anderson et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    We outline the principles of the natural capital approach to decision making and apply these to the contemporary challenge of very significantly expanding woodlands as contribution to attaining net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. Drawing on the case of the UK, we argue that a single focus upon carbon storage alone is likely to overlook the other ‘net zero plus’ benefits which woodlands can deliver. A review of the literature considers the wid…

  • Future fire risk under climate change and deforestation scenarios in tropical Borneo

    Open AccessTaraka Davies‐Barnard, Jennifer L Catto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Fire in the tropical peatland forests of Borneo is an environmental issue interactioning with climate change and deforestation, and the consequences have local and global implications. While research has shown that fire severity and frequency are expected to increase with climate change, there is conflicting model and observational data as to the effect of deforestation on precipitation, which is a key metric for fire risk. To better understand t…

  • Dynamic modelling shows substantial contribution of ecosystem restoration to climate change mitigation

    Open AccessEmma Littleton, Kate Dooley et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Limiting global warming to a 1.5°C temperature rise requires drastic emissions reductions and removal of carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere. Most modelled pathways for 1.5°C assume substantial removals in the form of biomass energy with carbon capture and storage, which brings with it increasing risks to biodiversity and food security via extensive land-use change. Recently, multiple efforts to describe and quantify potential removals via ecosyst…

  • Supplementary material to "Mapping the yields of lignocellulosic bioenergy crops from observations at the global scale"

  • Mapping the yields of lignocellulosic bioenergy crops from observations at the global scale

    Wei Li, Philippe Ciais et al.PREPRINT2019

    Most scenarios from Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) that project greenhouse gas emissions include the use of bioenergy as a means to reduce CO2 emissions or even to achieving negative emissions (together with CCS). The potential amount of CO2 that can be removed from the atmosphere depends, among others, on the yields of bioenergy crops, the land available to grow these crops and the efficiency with which CO2 produced by combustion is capture…

  • Large changes in Great Britain’s vegetation and agricultural land-use predicted under unmitigated climate change

    Open AccessPaul Ritchie, Anna Harper et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The impact of climate change on vegetation including agricultural production has been the focus of many studies. Climate change is expected to have heterogeneous effects across locations globally, and the diversity of land uses characterising Great Britain (GB) presents a unique opportunity to test methods for assessing climate change effects and impacts. GB is a relatively cool and damp country, hence, the warmer and generally drier growing seas…

  • Increased importance of methane reduction for a 1.5 degree target

    Open AccessW J Collins, Christopher P Webber et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    To understand the importance of methane on the levels of carbon emission reductions required to achieve temperature goals, a processed-based approach is necessary rather than reliance on the transient climate response to emissions. We show that plausible levels of methane (CH4) mitigation can make a substantial difference to the feasibility of achieving the Paris climate targets through increasing the allowable carbon emissions. This benefit is e…

  • Regional carbon fluxes from land use and land cover change in Asia, 1980–2009

    Open AccessLeonardo Calle, Josep G Canadell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    We present a synthesis of the land-atmosphere carbon flux from land use and land cover change (LULCC) in Asia using multiple data sources and paying particular attention to deforestation and forest regrowth fluxes. The data sources are quasi-independent and include the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization-Forest Resource Assessment (FAO-FRA 2015; country-level inventory estimates), the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGARv4.…

  • Origins and divergence of Aleuts, Eskimos and American Indians

    Open AccessA B Harper, Anna HarperARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1980

    The apportionment of average gene frequency differences into within and between groups of Aleuts, Eskimos and Athabascans reveals a testable model of the time of origin and differentiation of these populations. Based on the ratio of average difference between Aleuts and Eskimos, to the average difference between Bering Sea Mongoloids and Athabascans, we estimate that Athabascans diverged from Bering Sea Mongoloids at approximately 15 000 BP. The …
