To understand and quantify the role of forests on carbon cycle and its impact on climate change, it is critical to accurately quantify and monitor changes in forest AboveGround-Biomass (AGB). New advances in radar technologies have enabled the development of methods to map forest structure in 3...
change scenarios into account and the improved forest management practices should be planned and implemented in an integrated fashion as suggested in FAO (2010). Managers need to plan to build resilient dryland forest ecosystems. Greater awareness and appropriate policies and investments are needed at ...

In North America, climate response groups are geographically segregated and the ‘Strong positive PP response’ and ‘Positive PP response’ groups are characterized by the lowest water availability (MAP; Extended Data Table 3). Furthermore, these climate response groups differ in PP variability, ...

However, few studies have been conducted on the natural regeneration necessary to restore these forests. We reviewed the ecology of regeneration of tropical dry forests as a ...
