Forest Plantations and Clearings
, 2017 Largely artificial conifer plantations now cover much larger areas of Central Europe than the semi-natural broadleaved forests. In the North German Plain, the Harz and Ore Mountains and most other non-carbonate low mountains, the Upper Rhine Plain, the region of Nuremberg, the northern Prealps and the southwest Vienna Basin, forestry monocultures ...

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Rise and fall of forest loss and industrial plantations in Borneo (2000–2017)
Conservation Letters, 2019 The links between plantation expansion and deforestation in Borneo are debated. We used satellite imagery to map annual loss of old‐growth forests, expansion of industrial plantations (oil palm and pulpwood), and their overlap in Borneo from 2001 to 2017.
