Carbon prospecting in tropical forests for climate change mitigation

Nature Communications, 2021
Investing in forest protection is a way to generate tradable carbon credits to support biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Here the authors assess and map the global supply of tropical forest carbon credits with the goal of informing

Biodiversity outcomes of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation: Characterising the evidence base

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognised for their potential to address both the climate and biodiversity crises. Both these outcomes rely on the capacity of NbS to support and enhance the health of an ecosystem: its biodiversity, the ...

Artificial Light at Night Advances Spring Phenology in the United States

Remote Sensing, 2021
Plant phenology is closely related to light availability as diurnal and seasonal cycles are essential environmental cues for organizing bio-ecological processes.

High sedimentation rates lead to rapid vegetation recovery in tidal brackish wetland restoration

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionTidal wetland restoration in the Bay of Fundy involves restoring tidal hydrology to sites with tidal restrictions. Most have focused on salt marsh sites close to the mouth of estuaries, but there are also many tidally restricted wetlands ...

The Effect of Pollen on Coral Health

Biology, 2023
Corals are facing a range of threats, including rises in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification. Some now argue that keeping corals ex situ (in aquaria), may be not only important but necessary to prevent local extinction, for example in the ...

Global urban reforestation can be an important natural climate solution

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The climate mitigation potential of urban nature-based solutions (NBSs) is often perceived as insignificant and thus overlooked, as cities primarily pursue NBSs for local ecosystem services.

The neglected role of abandoned cropland in supporting both food security and climate change mitigation

Nature Communications, 2023
Despite the looming land scarcity for agriculture, cropland abandonment is widespread globally. Abandoned cropland can be reused to support food security and climate change mitigation.

Nature-based Solutions in Bangladesh: Evidence of Effectiveness for Addressing Climate Change and Other Sustainable Development Goals

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Many lower-income countries are highly vulnerable to the impacts of natural disasters and climate change, due to their geographical location and high levels of poverty.

Diverse Environmental Microbiota as a Tool to Augment Biodiversity in Urban Landscaping Materials

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Human activities typically lead to simplified urban diversity, which in turn reduces microbial exposure and increases the risk to urban dwellers from non-communicable diseases.

Uncertainties in deforestation emission baseline methodologies and implications for carbon markets

Nature Communications, 2023
Carbon credits generated through jurisdictional-scale avoided deforestation projects require accurate estimates of deforestation emission baselines, but there are serious challenges to their robustness.
