Only 0.02% of the total forest covers in India are estimated least resilient observed in the dry regions in the trans-Himalaya. Whereas, the forest covers in the wet climate regimes as the Western Ghats, Western Himalaya, Eastern Ghats and North-East (NE) India are predicted highly resilient...
a, b, Relative (a) and absolute (b) growth rate of forest biomass as derived from the State of Europe’s Forests 2015 report1 in combination with GlobBiomass27 and GFC21 data. The data in a are given over five European regions, with colours corresponding to the colour scale: north (ye...
Forest cover in the hill regions is essential to maintain environmental, economic and ecological balances. North Bengal accounts for 3,086 sq km (26 %) of the 11,876 sq km area of classified forests in the state, and for nearly 5,000 sq km (40 %) of all land under tree cover. Khum...
forests store 638 Gt of C in their ecosystem, with 238 Gt in biomass, which accounts for 80% of biomass C of terrestrial vegetation (FAO2005). Arid and semi-arid regions cover approximately 47% of the earth’s surface
In the Core/Periphery model Polar Regions mostly are considered as Resource Frontier Regions (Sugden 1982) because after the discovery these regions are economically used to produce raw materials and fuel for the industries in the core r... UI Gustafsson,L Hacquebord 被引量: 0发表: 2007年 Ge...
Total growing stockshows a sl ightoveral l down-ward tendency–mainlyowingto a decrease in forest area.However, some regions also show significant positive trends in growing stock per hectare.Forexample,Europe shows an increase and Southeast Asia a decrease. It is estimated that the world’s f...
Some authors predict that the carbon storage potential of tropical forests will decrease by up to 38% if this happens27, although the impacts are expected to vary in different regions and forest types20,26,40. Our regional analysis substantiates this suggestion. Fig. 5 Schematic representation ...
7. Forests in tropical regions are regarded as more contiguous than those in other regions5,8and Morreale et al.9concluded that temperate forests are 1.5 times more fragmented than tropical forests. In contrast, other studies implied that tropical forests are undergoing the most severe forest ...

It is observed that regions with large width of forests have recorded less damage as compared to those with no or considerably less forests (Barua et al., 2010; Dash and Vincent, 2009; Jayatissa and Hettiarachi, 2006). Incidence of frequent and devastating floods is common in India and ...
