International efforts to limit temperature...
While there are differences in the outcomes of some of the models, most concur that the amount of time carbon lingers in vegetation is the key issue, and thatglobal warmingof four degrees or more - currently predicted by the end of this century - marks the point at which carbon in vegetat...

Through correlation analyses and generalized linear model (GLM) regression, we demonstrate that management factors exerted a more significant positive impact on the forest cover than climate change. While the mean annual precipitation and temperature were mostly stable during the period studied, the ...
