- Bias in the attribution of forest carbon sinks
- A substantial fraction of the terrestrial carbon sink, past and present, may be incorrectly attributed to environmental change rather than changes in forest ...
- Cumulative Effects of Fire and Fuels Management on Stream Water Quality and Ecosystem Dynamics
- Prescribed fires and wildland fire-use are increasingly important management tools used to reduce fuel loads and restore the ecological integrity of western ...
- Climate change and disruptions to global fire activity
- Future disruptions to fire activity will threaten ecosystems and human well-being throughout the world, yet there are few fire projections at global scales and ...
- Conservation Biology: Predicting Birds’ Responses to Forest Fragmentation
- Understanding species’ ecological responses to habitat fragmentation is critical for biodiversity conservation, especially in tropical forests. A detailed ...
- Effects of Climatic Variability and Change on Forest Ecosystems: General Technical Report PNW-GTR-870 December 2012
- This report is a scientific assessment of the current condition and likely future condition of forest resources in the United States relative to climatic ...
- CO2 emissions from land-use change affected more by nitrogen cycle, than by the choice of land-cover data
- The high uncertainty in land-based CO2 fluxes estimates is thought to be mainly due to uncertainty in not only quantifying historical changes among forests, ...
- Divergent phenological response to hydroclimate variability in forested mountain watersheds
- Mountain watersheds are primary sources of freshwater, carbon sequestration, and other ecosystem services. There is significant interest in the effects of ...
- Classification of Climate Change-Induced Stresses on Biological Diversity
- Conservation actions need to account for and be adapted to address changes that will occur under global climate change. The identification of stresses on ...
- Carbon Dynamics of the Forest Sector
- Main points: The basic ecosystem science behind carbon dynamics in forests is relatively straightforward (really!).This science doesn’t seem to be applied very ...
- Can forest management be used to sustain water-based ecosystem services in the face of climate change?
- Forested watersheds, an important provider of ecosystems services related to water supply, can have their structure, function, and resulting streamflow ...
- Carbon Sequestration in Two Created Riverine Wetlands in the Midwestern United States
- Wetlands have the ability to accumulate significant amounts of carbon (C) and thus could provide an effective approach to mitigate greenhouse gas accumulation ...
- Drought, disease, defoliation and death: forest pathogens as agents of past vegetation change
- The temperate and boreal forests of Europe and North America have been subject to repeated pathogen (fungal disease and phytophagus insect) outbreaks over the ...
- Conservation value of forests attacked by bark beetles: Highest number of indicator species is found in early successional stages
- Heavy natural disturbance in large protected areas of former commercial forests increasingly evokes European parliaments to call for management intervention ...
- Effects of Management on Carbon Sequestration in Forest Biomass in Southeast Alaska
- The Tongass National Forest (Tongass) is the largest national forest and largest area of old-growth forest in the United States. Spatial geographic informa- ...
- CO2 emissions from forest loss
- Deforestation is the second largest anthropogenic source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, after fossil fuel combustion. Following a budget reanalysis, the ...
- Carbon loss from an unprecedented Arctic tundra wildfire
- Arctic tundra soils store large amounts of carbon (C) in organic soil layers hundreds to thousands of years old that insulate, and in some cases maintain, ...
- Brownness of organics in aerosols from biomass burning linked to their black carbon content
- Atmospheric particulate matter plays an important role in the Earth’s radiative balance. Over the past two decades, it has been established that a portion of ...
- Elevation-dependent influence of snow accumulation on forest greening
- Rising temperatures and declining water availability have influenced the ecological function of mountain forests over the past half-century. For instance, ...
- Decline of Leaf Hydraulic Conductance with Dehydration: Relationship to Leaf Size and Venation Architecture
- Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of which one major function is to replace water lost to ...
- Combined climate and carbon-cycle effects of large-scale deforestation
- The prevention of deforestation and promotion of afforestation have often been cited as strategies to slow global warming. Deforestation releases CO2 to the ...
- Carbon Mitigation by Biofuels or by Saving and Restoring Forests?
- The carbon sequestered by restoring forests is greater than the emissions avoided by the use of the liquid biofuels.
- DO CARBON OFFSETS WORK? THE ROLE OF FOREST MANAGEMENT IN GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION
- As forest carbon offset projects become more popular, professional foresters are providing their expertise to support them. But when several members of the ...
- Challenges in the conservation, rehabilitation and recovery of native stream salmonid populations: beyond the 2010 Luarca symposium
