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.

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 ...

Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]
, 2015 Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,

Elevated CO2 does not increase eucalypt forest productivity on a low-phosphorus soil [PDF]
, 2017 Rising atmospheric CO2 stimulates photosynthesis and productivity of forests, offsetting CO2 emissions. Elevated CO2 experiments in temperate planted forests yielded ~23% increases in productivity over the initial years.

Fuelwood demand and supply in Rwanda and the role of agroforestry [PDF]
, 2011 Fuelwood in Rwanda is assumed to come from forests and woodlands, thus contributing to large-scale deforestation. Available studies on fuelwood demand and supply support this assumption and indicate a continuously rising demand of fuelwood, notably from ...

Similarity among eucalyptus planted areas based on leaf-cutting ant nest sizes
Pesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2021 Techniques for leaf-cutting ant control have been investigated in literature due to the importance of the damage they cause to agriculture. Plantations with large territorial extensions, which can be contiguous or not, are usually subdivided into local ...

Plantation forests and biodiversity conservation [PDF]
, 2003 There are five key reasons why biodiversity conservation should be considered a part of plantation management. (1) The plantation estate is large, and balancing various land management values with wood and pulp production is important when extensive ...
