Spatial database of planted forests in East Asia [PDF]

Scientific Data, 2023
Planted forests are critical to climate change mitigation and constitute a major supplier of timber/non-timber products and other ecosystem services. Globally, approximately 36% of planted forest area is located in East Asia. However, reliable records of

The contribution of planted forests to regional carbon storage: evidence from western Hunan, China (1990–2020) [PDF]

Carbon Balance and Management
The widespread expansion of planted forests, fueled by initiatives such as China’s Grain-for-Green Program, plays a critical role in climate mitigation, yet its carbon performance compared to natural forests remains contested.

Leaf nutrient traits of planted forests demonstrate a heightened sensitivity to environmental changes compared to natural forests [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Leaf nutrient content (nitrogen, phosphorus) and their stoichiometric ratio (N/P) as key functional traits can reflect plant survival strategies and predict ecosystem productivity responses to environmental changes.

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China [PDF]

Advanced Science
Afforestation connects isolated forests into larger contiguous forests, reducing forest fragmentation. This process decreases edge areas by transforming edge forests into new interior forests (termed transformed forests).

Significant Differences in the Effects of Pine Wilt Disease Invasion on Plant Diversity in Natural and Planted Forests [PDF]

Insects
Plants, as producers in ecosystems, are an integral part of biodiversity in terms of their species diversity. Plant diversity not only enhances the quality of ecosystem services, but also provides habitat for a wide range of plants and animals.

Synergies and trade-offs in forest carbon pools: separating universal drivers from forest type-specific controls [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionUnderstanding the synergies and trade-offs among tree, understory, and soil carbon pools is critical for optimizing forest carbon sinks. However, the mechanisms regulating these relationships, particularly how they differ between natural and ...

Forest Age Drives the Resource Utilization Indicators of Trees in Planted and Natural Forests in China

Plants
Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are key leaf functional traits commonly used to reflect tree resource utilization strategies and predict forest ecosystem responses to environmental changes.

For the sake of resilience and multifunctionality, let's diversify planted forests!

Conservation Letters, 2022
As of 2020, the world has an estimated 290 million ha of planted forests and this number is continuously increasing. Of these, 131 million ha are monospecific planted forests under intensive management. Although monospecific planted forests are important

Aplicação do Modelo Swat na avaliação do consumo de água em áreas de florestas plantadas na bacia do rio Pará, Alto São Francisco, em Minas Gerais / Application of SWAT Model in the evaluation of water consumption in planted forest areas in Pará river basin, Upper São Francisco, in Minas Gerais. [PDF]

Sociedade & Natureza, 2015
Forests are very important for the balance of the hydrological cycle. There is, however, a discussion on whether plantations increase exaggeratedly water consumption in watersheds, especially if such plantations replace original smaller-size vegetation ...
