Forest-climate interactions in fragmented tropical landscapes.
In the tropics, habitat fragmentation alters forest-climate interactions in diverse ways. On a local scale (less than 1 km), elevated desiccation and wind disturbance near fragment margins lead to sharply increased tree mortality, thus altering canopy-gap dynamics, plant community composition, biomass dynamics and carbon storage. Fragmented forests are also highly vulnerable to edge-related fir...
متن کاملThe prediction of Persian Squirrel Distribution Using a Combined Modeling Approach in the Forest Landscapes of Luristan Province
Habitat destruction is the most important factor determining species extinction; hence, the management of wildlife populations necessitates the management of habitats. Habitat suitability modeling is one of the best tools used for habitat management. There are several methods for habitat suitability modeling, with each of having some different advantages and disadvantages. In this study, we us...
متن کاملForest management scenarios in a changing climate: trade-offs between carbon, timber, and old forest.
Balancing economic, ecological, and social values has long been a challenge in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, where conflict over timber harvest and old-growth habitat on public lands has been contentious for the past several decades. The Northwest Forest Plan, adopted two decades ago to guide management on federal lands, is currently being revised as the region searches for a balance be...
متن کاملAltered dynamics of forest recovery under a changing climate.
Forest regeneration following disturbance is a key ecological process, influencing forest structure and function, species assemblages, and ecosystem-climate interactions. Climate change may alter forest recovery dynamics or even prevent recovery, triggering feedbacks to the climate system, altering regional biodiversity, and affecting the ecosystem services provided by forests. Multiple lines o...
متن کاملGoverning agriculture-forest landscapes to achieve climate change mitigation
This introduction to the special section on ‘‘Governing Agriculture-Forest Landscapes to Achieve Climate Change Mitigation’’ reviews external interventions to improve forest conditions and reduce deforestation, and by extension, influence carbon storage in agriculture-forest landscapes. The review is based on a careful survey of 123 cases of project-based and policy interventions to influence l...
