However, the tree does have several different names. Besides monkeypod, it's also widely known as a rain tree. This name probably comes from the fact that grass under a monkeypod tree always remains green, even in times of drought. That's partly because the tree's leaves curl ...
Figure12and Table8display the summary effect estimates for all of the nine meta-analyses on concentration data. These estimates are for the basic models and do not account for moderators, discussed below. Their purpose is to identify clear patterns. A lack of significance does not indicate no s...
nurturing agroforestry systems, which serve as significant CO2 absorbers. Soil Sequestration As organic matter decomposes, it leaves behind soil organic carbon (SOC), a storage form of CO2 in the soil. In most cases, SOC has a CO2 storage capacity of several decades. Soil organic carbon sequestr...
semi-supervised algorithms, unsupervised algorithms and reinforcement learning algorithms. Supervised algorithms are those that work on data that has labels. Semi-supervised is where part of the data is labeled and another part is not. Unsupervised is where the data doesn’t have labels. Reinforcement...
Since, in a health insurance plan, the insurance provider does not pay for the entirety of your yearly medical costs, you have to pay a certain portion of these costs from your pocket. The deductible is one of these out-of-pocket payments. Before your insurance kicks in, you must first ...
Following that rough path, WRI has co-created several custommonitoring systemsthat reflect the priorities and preferences of partners. In the following section, we highlight work we have supported in 6 countries around the world. Right: An example of a mosaic landscape of agroforestry and natural...
The trees in agroforestry plots create spatial heterogeneity of high interest for adaptation, mitigation, and the provision of ecosystem services. But to what distance, exactly, from the tree? We tested a novel approach, based upon geostatistics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sensing, to infer...
What kind of IK is used to Address Climate Change and How Does it help Enhance Climate Adaptation and Resilience? The findings related to understanding the different kinds of IK used to address climate change and how it contributes to climate change adaptation and resilience are divided and presen...
While many youths stated that their family influences their decision, this does not mean that youth have the same aspirations as their family. Table9shows how often parents’ aspirations for their children align with their children’s aspirations (based on mutually exclusive choices). In general, ...
How does our work at the downstream end of plastic reclamation, turning waste into something new, and figuring out how we collect things, teach us about the upstream changes we can make? How does messing around where its pragmatic and easy in the shortterm show us the more effective long ...
