Biodiversity primarily drives the spatial stability of ecosystem functions and multifunctionality, along with biotic and abiotic factors across South Korean forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionMaintaining the stability of forest ecosystem functions and mitigating climate-driven declines in ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) are central objectives of contemporary forest management.MethodsWe evaluated the spatial stability of 11 ...

How Costly are Carbon Offsets? A Meta-Analysis of Forest Carbon Sinks [PDF]

Carbon terrestrial sinks are seen as a low-cost alternative to fuel switching and reduced fossil fuel use for lowering atmospheric CO2. As a result of agreements reached at Bonn and Marrakech, carbon offsets have taken on much greater importance in ...

Dealing with locally-driven degradation: A quick start option under REDD+ [PDF]

, 2011
The paper reviews a number of challenges associated with reducing degradation and its related emissions through national approaches to REDD+ under UNFCCC policy. It proposes that in many countries, it may in the short run be easier to deal with the kinds

Relative importance of biotic, abiotic and stand age factors in influencing ecosystem multifunctionality across forest stand types in South Korea

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionIn order to effectively manage ecosystems, it is important to understand how the structure and function of the ecosystem are measured and interpreted, and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) is being used as an important indicator for ...

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Long Term Versus Temporary Certified Emission Reductions in Forest Carbon-Sequestration Programs [PDF]

Under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, forest projects can receive returns for carbon sequestration via two credit instruments: temporary (tCERs) or long-term certified emission reductions (lCERs).

Environmentally benign process for valorization of lignocellulosic bamboo residues with green solvent propylene carbonate

Green Energy & Environment
A novel environmentally benign biphasic system composed of propylene carbonate (PC) and aqueous solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH aq) was designed for the efficient valorization of lignocellulosic bamboo residues, resulting in more than 95.5% of
