Forests can also act as a safety net providing food and other resources in times of need for forest-proximate households (i.e., households living in the proximity of forests) around the world (Andrews & Borgerhoff Mulder,2022; Bakkegaard et al.,2017; Newton et al.,2020; Rasmussen et al...
Carbon offsets are widely promoted as a strategy to lower the cost of emission reductions, but recent findings suggest that offsets may not causally reduce emissions by the amount claimed. In a compliance market, offsets increase net emissions if they do
Key regulation processes are shown: 1) Light and rainfall interceptions by overstory change the understory microclimate; 2) Composition and diversity of understory vegetation influence preconditions for seed germination and regeneration of overstory; 3) Under- and over-story interactions affect ground ...
In general, the mean concentration of elements in the eastern Nepal Himalayas was lower than those reported in China (Han et al., 2011). The mean concentration of Mg, Cu, Zn, and Fe were within the normal range for healthy growth of trees, while macroelements (P, K, and Ca) were ...
The fruits of Pyracantha crenulata (Nepal firethorn found in the Pine and Oak forests) has cardio-tonic, coronary vasodilator and hypertensive properties. The anti-oxidants present in the fruits reduce ill-effects of free-radicals in our body, maintain blood-pressure and reduce cholesterol. The ...
Site specific growth performance of Cedrus deodara forests in Western Nepal Himalaya Achyut Tiwari Aashish Bidari Uttam Babu Shrestha Plant Ecology (2024) Observed and dark diversity of plants’ life-forms are driven by climate and human impacts in a tropical dry forest Magno Daniel de Oliveira...
The pollution haven hypothesis predicts a positive impact of FDI on carbon emissions and deforestation, which is explained by the intensive use of natural resources and delocalisation of activities, with negative externalities to avoid environmental regulation. This result is found, among others, by ...
where cover ranges from 91.1 to 97.1%. A previous study demonstrated that the number of bryophyte species and their cover are high in forest types on moist sites (Stefańska-Krzaczek et al.2022). Presumably, the relatively high humidity in the studied closed broadleaved stands has a positive ...
We used three state-of-the-art machine learning techniques (boosted regression tree, random forest, and support vector machine) to produce a multi-hazard (MHR) map illustrating areas susceptible to flooding, gully erosion, forest fires, and earthquakes i
In summary, it is possible to realize conservation goals without compromising income levels through an effective combination of regulation, household payments, and monitoring land use change. Corridors could expand the range of suitable habitats by connecting isolated patches of land41, 42, reducing ...
