Heterogeneity and Controlling Mechanisms of Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Across Erosion Zones in China Under Future Climate Scenarios

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a key indicator of global carbon cycling and climate change response, plays a critical role in regional ecological security and agricultural sustainability. This study employs three machine learning models including the LightGBM, XGBoost, and random forest to simulate the spatial distribution of topsoil SOC stocks

The future of tropical forests

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010
Five anthropogenic drivers–land use change, wood extraction, hunting, atmospheric change, climate change–will largely determine the future of tropical forests. The geographic scope and intensity of these five drivers are in flux. Contemporary land use change includes deforestation (∼64,000 km2 yr−1 for the entire tropical forest biome) and natural ...

Forest dynamics in the tropics.

2013
This chapter discusses the dynamics of tropical forests. Specifically, the chapter presents the following topics: deforestation; forest land use dynamics; forest dynamics as a process of co-evolution in social and ecological conditions; forest transition pathways; reforestation; and policies that enhance forest conservation and extension.

The tropical forests

1995
The tropical forest ecosystem is represented by three floristically diverse formations. The American formation is the most extensive, but large tracts of tropical forest are also found in equatorial Africa and South East Asia (Figure 2.1). Throughout these regions there is a recurrent structural and physiognomic adaptation to similar environmental ...
