Forests and climate change: forcings, feedbacks, and the climate benefits of forests.
The world's forests influence climate through physical, chemical, and biological processes that affect planetary energetics, the hydrologic cycle, and atmospheric composition. These complex and nonlinear forest-atmosphere interactions can dampen or amplify anthropogenic climate change. Tropical, temperate, and boreal reforestation and afforestation attenuate global warming through carbon seques...
متن کاملManaging forests for climate change mitigation.
Forests currently absorb billions of tons of CO2 globally every year, an economic subsidy worth hundreds of billions of dollars if an equivalent sink had to be created in other ways. Concerns about the permanency of forest carbon stocks, difficulties in quantifying stock changes, and the threat of environmental and socioeconomic impacts of large-scale reforestation programs have limited the upt...
متن کاملRevaluing unmanaged forests for climate change mitigation
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Unmanaged or old-growth forests are of paramount importance for carbon sequestration and thus for the mitigation of climate change among further implications, e.g. biodiversity aspects. Still, the importance of those forests for climate change mitigation compared to managed forests is under controversial debate. We evaluate the adequacy of referring to CO2 flux measurem...
متن کاملEffects of Climate Change on Southeastern Forests
Scientists from Rice University sponsored by the National Wetlands Research Center are using a long-term study of forest structure and change in east Texas to investigate potential effects of climate change on forests of the coastal plain (Fig. 1). Study areas include sites in the Big Thicket of east Texas, which are representative of important vegetation types on the coastal plain, including b...
متن کاملREVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON PLANTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE Plants and climate change: complexities and surprises
Background Anthropogenic climate change (ACC) will influence all aspects of plant biology over coming decades. Many changes in wild species have already been well-documented as a result of increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations, warming climate and changing precipitation regimes. A wealth of available data has allowed the use of meta-analyses to examine plant–climate interactions on more soph...
