Sequestering carbon in natural forests [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 1997 Abstract Closed forests cover about 3 billion hectares, or 20% of the world's total land area (excluding Antarctica). Forest plantations comprise less than 1% of this area. Natural forests range from the intensively managed ones of Central Europe and Scandinavia to the wild boreal forests of Russia and Canada and the deep jungles and dry forests of the

Comparing environmental impacts of alien plants, insects and pathogens in protected riparian forests [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2021 The prioritization of alien species according to the magnitude of their environmental impacts has become increasingly important for the management of invasive alien species. In this study, we applied the Environmental Impact Classification of Alien Taxa (

Heliyon, 2023 In small Alpine catchments, floods are mostly triggered by surface runoff generation during convective heavy precipitation events. Their magnitude also depends on the antecedent soil moisture content, which was shown in several previous studies.

Invasive alien plant species in unmanaged forest reserves, Austria [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2019 Invasive alien plant species (IAS) are one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity and the sustainable functioning of ecosystems and mitigating the threat posed by them is therefore of great importance. This study presents the results of a 15-year

Assessing Forest Naturalness [PDF]
Forest Science, 2012 The concept of naturalness has been proposed and used for describing the ecological value of forest ecosystems, evaluating management efforts to conserve biodiversity, and identifying natural, old-growth forests for purposes of establishing protection areas. Because the concept is not globally familiar, a literature review was conducted to document the

Conservation potential of non-protected area for sympatric carnivores in Bhutan
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Carnivore conservation in Bhutan is mainly focused on charismatic species such as the tiger and the snow leopard inside protected areas. Little is known about the conservation status of small and medium-sized sympatric carnivores outside the protected ...

Can species richness be maintained in logged endemic Acacia Heterophylla forests (Reunion Island, Indian Ocean) ? [PDF]
, 2007 It is assumed that forests can serve multiple uses, including wood production and maintenance of high biodiversity level. We tested this hypothesis by studying eradication methods of invasive plants currently implemented in exploited endemic Acacia ...

Regional influence of ocean–atmosphere teleconnections on the timing and duration of MODIS-derived snow cover in British Columbia, Canada [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 We use the twice-daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow cover product to study the regional influence of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) on snow cover in British Columbia (BC).
