The Economic Value of Urban Forest In Jakarta (Case Study Srengseng Urban Forest West Jakarta)

Media Konservasi, 2019
The city of Jakarta has many environmental problems, among others it requires the existence of urban forests could ameliorate micro climate. Air temperature and humidity as part of the microclimate element affect the level of comfort that will ultimately

Diverse Prairie Mixtures Stabilize Biomass Yields for Sustainable Aviation Fuel Production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Meeting global demand for sustainable aviation fuel will require the additional production of vast quantities of plant biomass, which does not compete with food production or degrade sensitive ecosystems. Our multisite experiment shows that sowing diverse native prairie seed mixes—and managing them without intensive inputs—yields a more reliable ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Influence of land use on urban climate of a small town - doi: 10.4025/actascitechnol.v35i2.13703

Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2013
This study aimed to quantify the influence of anthropogenic activity in changing the microclimate of the urban area of a small town. To this end, the temperature and relative humidity were monitored over six days using a direct-reading thermo-hygrometers

Climate requirements for cultivated Liberica coffee (Coffea liberica) and consequences for its use and development as a crop species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

URBAN FOREST COMPONENTS INFLUENCING MICROCLIMATE AND COOLING POTENTIAL1

Revista Árvore, 2017
Planting areas with arboreal vegetation has been proposed as a way to improve the climatic conditions of cities. However, it is not yet known which components of urban forest provide more satisfactory effects. The main goal of this study was to determine

Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.
