Soil carbon storage is related to tree functional composition in naturally regenerating tropical forests. [PDF]

Funct Ecol, 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Regenerating tropical forests are increasingly important for their role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon stocks in above‐ground biomass can recover to old‐growth forest levels within 60–100 years.

Effect of primate protection on threatened and endemic vertebrates, plants, ecosystem services, and future climate refugia. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

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 ...

Prioritizing global tall forests toward the 30 × 30 goals

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract The Global Deal for Nature sets an ambitious goal to protect 30% of Earth's land and ocean by 2030. The 30 × 30 initiative is a way to allocate conservation resources and extend protection to conserve vulnerable and underprotected ecosystems while reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change.

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.

Limited biomass recovery from gold mining in Amazonian forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 57, Issue 9, Page 1730-1740, September 2020., 2020
To achieve large‐scale restoration targets, Guyana and other Amazonian countries will be challenged to remediate previously mined lands. The recovery process is highly dependent on nitrogen availability rather than mercury contamination, affecting woody biomass regrowth.

Can avian functional traits predict cultural ecosystem services?

People and Nature, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 138-151, March 2020., 2020
Abstract The functional trait diversity of species assemblages can predict the provision of ecosystem services such as pollination and carbon sequestration, but it is unclear whether the same trait‐based framework can be applied to identify the factors that underpin cultural ecosystem services and disservices. To explore the relationship between traits

Captura de carbono orgánico en zonas con distinto nivel de intervención en páramos de Sayaro

FIGEMPA, 2023
Los páramos son ecosistemas conocidos por su gran capacidad de retención hídrica y secuestro de carbono en los suelos, esto se atribuye a la variedad de flora y fauna de las zonas de humedales en los mismos.
