  • The 2024 state of the climate report

    Open AccessWilliam J Ripple, Christopher Wolf et al.ARTICLEBioScience2024

    Author: Ripple, William J et al.; Genre: Journal Article; Finally published : 2024-12-01; Keywords: climate crisis, vital signs; Title: The 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth

  • Redefining the wildfire problem and scaling solutions to meet the challenge

    B E Law, Beverly Law et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the Atomic Scientists2023

    As the climate warms, extended drought and heat events in the United States are driving an increase in acres burned and homes lost to wildfire. The most devastating wildfires happen when dry winds carry embers long distances, start spot fires and ignite homes. Burning homes then become the fuel that ignites other nearby homes, causing mass conflagrations. Today wildfire is largely approached as a problem that can be controlled through vegetation …

  • Six steps to integrate climate mitigation with adaptation for social justice

  • Focus on the role of forests and soils in meeting climate change mitigation goals

    Open AccessWilliam R Moomaw, B E Law et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    It is clear that reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient to avoid large global temperature increases. To avoid atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases that result in dangerous alterations of the climate, large reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and land use changes must be accompanied by an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestration. Natural Climate Solutions have become a major foc…

  • Meeting GHG reduction targets requires accounting for all forest sector emissions

    Open AccessT W Hudiburg, B E Law et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) must be reduced to avoid an unsustainable climate. Because carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and sequestered in forests and wood products, mitigation strategies to sustain and increase forest carbon sequestration are being developed. These strategies require full accounting of forest sector GHG budgets. Here, we describe a rigorous approach using over one million observations from forest inventory d…

  • Quantifying the effect of forest age in annual net forest carbon balance

    Open AccessSimon Besnard, Nuno Carvalhais et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    Forests dominate carbon (C) exchanges between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere on land. In the long term, the net carbon flux between forests and the atmosphere has been significantly impacted by changes in forest cover area and structure due to ecological disturbances and management activities. Current empirical approaches for estimating net ecosystem productivity (NEP) rarely consider forest age as a predictor, which represents vari…

  • Tree mortality from fires, bark beetles, and timber harvest during a hot and dry decade in the western United States (2003–2012)

    Open AccessLogan T Berner, B E Law et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    High temperatures and severe drought contributed to extensive tree mortality from fires and bark beetles during the 2000s in parts of the western continental United States. Several states in this region have greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets and would benefit from information on the amount of carbon stored in tree biomass killed by disturbance. We quantified mean annual tree mortality from fires, bark beetles, and timber harvest from 2003–201…

  • A spatial approach to upland vegetation change and human impact

    John Woodbridge, Ralph Fyfe et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2012Citada por: 3Referências: 12

    Uplands have long been considered important ‘barometers’ for human-environment relationships. Five pollen sequences from the upper Aber Valley (Snowdonia), across an altitudinal gradient, reveal that human impacts have varied temporally on small spatial scales in the region. Woodland taxa persisted into the later Holocene at lower altitudes and sites located at higher altitude reveal a more open landscape history, possibly as a result of increase…
