Storage Potential of Soil Functional Carbon Fractions in the World's Largest Plantations [PDF]

Advanced Science
The expansion of planted forests is one of the most effective natural climate solutions. However, increasing forest age and climate change lead to weaken biomass carbon sink, highlighting the urgency of improving the storage of functional soil organic ...

Spatio-Temporal Dynamic of Disturbances in Planted and Natural Forests for the Saihanba Region of China

Remote Sensing, 2023
Various disturbances like extreme climate events, fires, and insect outbreak severely impact forest ecosystems, and differences are expected between planted and natural forests.

Young mixed planted forests store more carbon than monocultures—a meta-analysis

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Although decades of research suggest that higher species richness improves ecosystem functioning and stability, planted forests are predominantly monocultures.

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 ...

Expansion of Planted Forests: The Risk of Pesticides Mixtures

Forests, 2022
Planted forests include forests established through human planting or deliberate seeding. They are systems that offer us timber and non-timber forest products and ecosystem services, such as wildlife protection, carbon sequestration, soil, and watershed ...

An Object- and Shapelet-Based Method for Mapping Planted Forest Dynamics from Landsat Time Series

Remote Sensing, 2022
Large-scale afforestation in arid and semi-arid areas with fragile ecosystems for the purpose of restoring degradation and mitigating climate change has raised issues of decreased groundwater recharge and ambiguous climatic benefits.

Assessing the Broader Value of Planted Forests to Inform Forest Management Decisions

Forests, 2021
This study highlights the importance of incorporating objectively quantified, non-market environmental values (such as avoided erosion and carbon sequestration) into land use decision making for sustainable forest management.

Higher aboveground carbon stocks in mixed-species planted forests than monocultures – a meta-analysis

bioRxiv, 2022
Natural forest is declining globally as the area of planted forest increases. Planted forests are often monocultures, despite results suggesting that higher species richness improves ecosystem functioning and stability.

Eating plants and planting forests for the climate [PDF]

Global Change Biology, 2019
The IPCC's Special Report on Climate Change and Land addresses the closely coupled relationship between land use and climate change. The report notes the climate change mitigation potential of dietary shifts and afforestation. Here, we briefly discuss how decreases in ruminant meat consumption associated with dietary shifts have the potential to free ...
