To restore tropical forests at scale requires cost-effective methods. An estimated 215 million hectares — an area larger than that of Mexico — have potential for natural forest regeneration, which could lead to an estimated above-ground sequestration of 23.4 gigatonnes of carbon over 30 years. ...

relatively deep into the past, but became extinct elsewhere while persisting within these regions. In contrast, neo-endemism characterizes biodiversity centers where recently diverged lineages are concentrated16,22,25. For instance, Mesoamerica and the South American Atlantic Forest act as neo-endemism o...
These climate change prospects have to be coupled with the implementation of technological changes in the fields of a) energy savings on the demand side, b) generation efficiency at the production level and fossil fuel substitution by various renewable energy sources (RES), as well as c) low n...
used to measure inside the forest, with reference sensors, located above the forest canopy, may help disentangle the seasonal contribution of understory vegetation to forest reflectance. While multispectral cameras can be used to derive plot-level spectral vegetation indices (SVIs) from discrete spectra...

Here, we studied 94 Chinese Pine (Pinus tabulaeformis; Pinaceae) and 86 Qinghai Spruce (Picea crassifolia; Pinaceae) trees along the alpine forest ecotone [2100–2400 m above sea level (a.s.l.)] to assess tree growth differences and corresponding responses to climate change in the Helan ...
• increase the forest stock volume by 6 billion cubic meters by 2030 from the 2005 level. • bring its total installed capacity of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kW by 2030. Compared with the objectives...
additional threat in this analysis, which we argued could be used as a proxy for impacts of livestock farming, energy production and mining, and tree plantations since they are typically associated with completely removing closed tree stands. We acknowledge that deforestation, the measure of forest ...
Forest restoration is fundamental to overcoming biodiversity crises and climate change. In tropical forests, animals can improve forest recovery as they disperse >70% of tree species. However, representing animals in restoration and climate change pol
