Thomson Reuters Foundation News | 05.12.19
Oil and gas companies say earning carbon credits to improve soils and forests will cut emissions - but critics call it a distraction.

Science Magazine | 04.12.19
"How much warming we are having today is pretty much right on where models have predicted."
|
|
Phys.Org | 04.12.19
A research project conducted by Aalto University found that favoring broadleaved species in boreal forestry is a climate-friendly option when considering the forest albedo.

UN-REDD | 03.12.19
Deforestation caused by land-use changes is degrading ecosystems and the traditional way of life of indigenous populations, Afro-descendants and local communities, many of whom depend on the use of forests and their resources.

Science Advances | 12.19
Spatially continuous data on functional diversity will improve our ability to predict global change impacts on ecosystem properties. We applied methods that combine imaging spectroscopy and foliar traits to estimate remotely sensed functional diversity in tropical forests across an Amazon-to-Andes elevation gradient (215 to 3537 m).
