Globally consistent climate sensitivity of natural disturbances across boreal and temperate forest ecosystems [PDF]

Ecography, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 967-978, July 2020., 2020
Disturbance regimes are changing in forests across the world in response to global climate change. Despite the profound impacts of disturbances on ecosystem services and biodiversity, assessments of disturbances at the global scale remain scarce. Here, we analyzed natural disturbances in boreal and temperate forest ecosystems for the period 2001–2014 ...

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients [PDF]

, 2022
The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most recognized global patterns of species richness exhibited across a wide range of taxa. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed in the past two centuries to explain LDG, but rigorous tests of the ...

Coarse woody debris density and carbon concentration by decay classes in mixed montane wet tropical forests

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 3, Page 635-644, May 2022., 2022
Wood density and carbon concentration across decay classes of coarse woody debris were estimated for Asian montane tropical mixed forests. Abstract The role of coarse woody debris (CWD) in the global carbon (C) cycle is growing under increasing tree mortality driven by climate variability and disturbances.

Farmer Field Schools for Improving Farming Practices and Farmer Outcomes: A Systematic Review

Campbell Systematic Reviews, Volume 10, Issue 1, Page i-335, 2014., 2014
This Campbell systematic review examines the effectiveness of farmer field schools in improving intermediate outcomes (such as knowledge and pesticide use) and final outcomes (such as agricultural yields, incomes and empowerment) in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), as well as implementation factors associated with programme success and failure.
