Defining biodiverse reforestation: Why it matters for climate change mitigation and biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 27-38, January 2023., 2023
Mixed species plantings present an attractive alternative to monoculture reforestation through their added benefits to biodiversity. Yet there is ambiguity in the use of the term ‘biodiversity’ in carbon and biodiversity markets, which may create perverse outcomes when designing schemes and projects.

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above-But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
We examined the potential of mixed‐species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature‐based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing multiple carbon stocks and fluxes over 16 years in the world's oldest tropical tree diversity experiment, we found that planted forests with five tree ...

Production, consumers' convenience, and cynical economies: The case of Uber in Buenos Aires

Economic Anthropology, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 326-336, June 2021., 2021
Based on twelve months of fieldwork into Uber's conflict in Buenos Aires, Argentina, this article examines convenience's role in the emergence of what I call cynical economies: a method and logic of production expressly organized on the awareness of a distance the very rhetoric of convenience exacerbates.
