Measured greenhouse gas budgets challenge emission savings from palm-oil biodiesel

Nature Communications, 2020
Palm oil biofuels are touted as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Meijide and colleagues use greenhouse gas measurements to update life cycle assessments of oil palm growth scenarios and show that despite the promise, emission savings do not ...

A Regional Earth System Data Lab for Understanding Ecosystem Dynamics: An Example from Tropical South America

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Tropical ecosystems experience particularly fast transformations largely as a consequence of land use and climate change. Consequences for ecosystem functioning and services are hard to predict and require analyzing multiple data sets simultaneously ...

Competing with each other: Fish isotopic niche in two resource availability contexts

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
IntroductionCompetition embodies species struggle for space and food and is, therefore, a critical evolutionary mechanism influencing species spatiotemporal patterns and persistence. One of the main drivers of competition is resource availability.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Control Soil Methane Uptake in Tropical Montane Forests

, 2021
Tropical forests contribute about one third to global annual CH4 uptake by soils. Understanding the factors that control the soil‐atmosphere exchange of CH4 at a large scale is a critical step to improve the CH4 flux estimate for tropical soils, which is

Tradeoffs between units providing soil ecosystem services in multifunctional landscapes of the Orinoquia

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Ecological assessment of soil ecosystem services was made through indicators of provision of nutrients, amount of organic matter, and cation exchange capacity; and climate regulation, carbon storage, in the Orotoy river basin.

Marine fish and benthic biota before the 2019 oil spill: A baseline dataset for monitoring programs and impact assessments at Rio Grande Norte state, Northeastern Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
In 2019 an oil spill spread over more than 4000 km of the Brazilian coastline. Monitoring programs that allow for the evaluation of potential impacts on communities and ecosystems and their recovery through time are needed and rely on baseline ...

Interpreting and Correcting Cross-scale Mismatches in Resilience Analysis: a Procedure and Examples from Australia's Rangelands

Ecology and Society, 2005
Many rangelands around the globe are degraded because of mismatches between the goals and actions of managers operating at different spatial scales. In this paper, we focus on identifying, interpreting, and correcting cross-scale mismatches in rangeland ...

Land Use Increases the Correlation between Tree Cover and Biomass Carbon Stocks in the Global Tropics

Land, 2021
Tree cover (TC) and biomass carbon stocks (CS) are key parameters for characterizing vegetation and are indispensable for assessing the role of terrestrial ecosystems in the global climate system.
