Reforestation in the tropics is highlighted as an important intervention to mitigate climate change globally because of its potential for high CO2 removal rates, ranging from 4.5 40.7 t CO2e ha?1 yr?1 during first 20 years tree growth. critical meeting emissions’ targets Paris Climate Agreement, well achieving Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. Increasing carbon stock...

Settlements are not just a place to live, but developing their functions as psychological, aesthetic, social status, and economic status needs. Therefore, meet the needs of settlements, it is necessary standardize feasibility dwelling. This research intended study for settlements in Maesa Unima sub-district, South Tondano Minahasa district. The method used qualitative research. sub-focus this 1...

Dead wood remaining after wildfires represents a biological legacy for forest regeneration, and its decay is both cause and consequence of a large set of ecological processes. However, the rate of wood decomposition after fires is still poorly understood, particularly for Mediterranean-type ecosystems. In this study, we analyzed deadwood decomposition following a wildfire in a Mediterranean pin...

Global mapping efforts to date have relied on vague and oversimplified definitions of “abandoned” agricultural land which results in overestimates the area that is likely support persistent increases forest cover associated carbon sequestration. We propose a new conceptualization abandoned incorporates changes landholding status over time into determining whether should be considered as abandon...

Strategies to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions through forestry activities have been proposed, but ecosystem process-based integration of climate change, enhanced CO2, disturbance from fire, and management actions at regional scales are extremely limited. Here, we examine the relative merits of afforestation, reforestation, management changes, and harvest residue bioenergy use in the Pacific N...

Recognition of the importance of forests for local livelihoods, biodiversity and the climate system has spurred a growing interest in understanding the factors that drive forest-cover change. Forest transitions, the change from net deforestation to net reforestation, may follow different pathways depending on a complex interplay of driving forces. However, most studies on forest transitions foc...

[1] The impact of future land use and land cover changes (LULCC) on regional and global climate is one of the most challenging aspects of understanding anthropogenic climate change. We study the impacts of LULCC on regional climate in the southeastern U.S. by downscaling the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies global climate model E to the regional scale using a spectral nudging technique ...
