Facilitating Carbon Offsets from Native Forests [PDF]
Motu Working Paper, 2017 This note aims to help firms looking to offset their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Emissions reductions from native forestry sequestration are already recognised in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and it is shovel ready to generate native forest offsets. 10,000 Ha of post-1989 native forest land would sequester 65,000 tonnes of CO2-e

Native plant species richness in non-native Pinus contorta forest [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Ecology, 2016 Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine) is invasive in many southern hemisphere countries, having spread extensively from original plantings. It is widely controlled to limit its spread and negative impacts, and is generally assumed to have little value for native plant biodiversity. We surveyed vegetation in two stands of montane wilding P.

Under What Circumstances Do Wood Products from Native Forests Benefit Climate Change Mitigation? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Climate change mitigation benefits from the land sector are not being fully realised because of uncertainty and controversy about the role of native forest management.

Emerging Urban Forests: Opportunities for Promoting the Wild Side of the Urban Green Infrastructure [PDF]
, 2019 Many cities aim to increase urban forest cover to benefit residents through the provision of ecosystem services and to promote biodiversity. As a complement to traditional forest plantings, we address opportunities associated with “emerging urban forests”

Sampling frequency to estimate cumulative nitrous oxide emissions from the soil [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira: The objective of this work was to assess the influence of gas sampling frequency on the cumulative emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from the soil. Gas emissions were assessed over a period of two years (2014-2016), in four systems: eucalyptus forestry,

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Conversion of natural, heterogenous tropical forests to intensively managed, monoculture-production landscapes is a major threat to biodiversity. This phenomenon is driven by global demand for commodities such as wood, palm oil, sugar, and soybean.

Differential temporal beta‐diversity patterns of native and non‐native arthropod species in a fragmented native forest landscape [PDF]
, 2018 An important factor that hinders the management of non‐native species is a general lack of information regarding the biogeography of non‐natives, and, in particular, their rates of turnover.

Assesment of soil erosion by 137Cs technique in native forests in Londrina City, Parana, Brazil
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2007 The aim of this work was to assess the soil erosion process in native forest by the 137Cs methodology. The mass balance model was applied to assess the rates of soil loss in three native forests around of Londrina city, Paraná, Brazil. 137Cs distribution

Reunion overseas: introduced wild boars and cultivated orange trees interact in the Brazilian Atlantic forest [PDF]
, 2019 Little is known concerning novel interactions between species that typically interact in their native range but, as a consequence of human activity, are also interacting out of their original distribution under new ecological conditions.
