Soil carbon storage is related to tree functional composition in naturally regenerating tropical forests. [PDF]

Funct Ecol, 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Regenerating tropical forests are increasingly important for their role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon stocks in above‐ground biomass can recover to old‐growth forest levels within 60–100 years.

Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above-But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We examined the potential of mixed‐species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature‐based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing multiple carbon stocks and fluxes over 16 years in the world's oldest tropical tree diversity experiment, we found that planted forests with five tree ...

The need for carbon finance schemes to tackle overexploitation of tropical forest wildlife. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Defaunation of tropical forests, particularly from unsustainable hunting, has diminished populations of key seed dispersers for many tree species, driving shifts in forest community composition toward small‐fruited or wind‐dispersed trees with low wood density. Such shifts can reduce aboveground biomass, prompting calls for overexploitation to

Ecuaciones alométricas, biomasa y carbono en plantaciones forestales tropicales en la costa de Jalisco

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021
La estimación de la biomasa aérea es una herramienta clave para determinar el potencial de almacenamiento de carbono de un taxón. En el occidente de México, se han establecido plantaciones forestales con especies tropicales, pero se desconoce el ...

Estimación de biomasa y carbono con herramientas de teledetección en bosques secos tropicales del Tolima, Colombia

Revista de Teledetección, 2023
Los bosques mantienen una gran cantidad de carbono en biomasa, lo cual constituye una opción de mitigación del cambio climático. Esta investigación se centró en la estimación de biomasa aérea y carbono mediante herramientas de teledetección y modelación ...

Prioritizing global tall forests toward the 30 × 30 goals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The Global Deal for Nature sets an ambitious goal to protect 30% of Earth's land and ocean by 2030. The 30 × 30 initiative is a way to allocate conservation resources and extend protection to conserve vulnerable and underprotected ecosystems while reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change.

Forest disturbance and recovery in Peruvian Amazonia

Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 13, Page 3601-3621, July 2023., 2023
This study used Landsat time series in combination with data from 1840 National Forest Inventory plots in Peruvian Amazonia to determine the impact of disturbance, environmental conditions and human use on forests' biomass and tree diversity. We found that the intensity of forest disturbance had a negative effect on the recovery of aboveground biomass ...
