Publication date: 1 July 2019Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 443Author(s): C. Bessega, M. Cony, B.O. Saidman, R. Aguiló, P. Villagra, J.A. Alvarez, C. Pometti, J.C. VilardiAbstractEcosystem restoration has gained increasing interest to mitigate the effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity and desertification. Since the genetic composition of the reproductive material to reveg...
Abstract Background The nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) of plants are posited to be crucial traits for the resistance and resilience of plants to climate change-induced drought and flooding. However, the potential effects of persistent drought and waterlogging on the dynamics of the NSCs and the underlying mechanisms are still poo...
The Science Framework is intended to link the Department of the Interior’s Integrated Rangeland Fire Management Strategy with long-term strategic conservation and restoration actions in the sagebrush biome. The focus is on sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems and sagebrush dependent species with an emphasis on Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). Part 1 of the Science Framework, pub...
Natural climate solutions let nature do the hard work in the fight against climate change by restoring habitats such as forests and wetlands. This could absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help biodiversity thrive. Stephen Woroniecki - a PhD Researcher in Climate Change Adaptation from Lund University in Sweden - discusses how this approach could address the ecological crisis with Guardi...
In the managed forest of Canada, forest fires are actively suppressed through efficient initial attack capability; however, the impact of different factors on the suppression success remains to be understood. The aim of this paper was to analyze the influence of operational suppression objectives (fire detection, initial attack, and fire control) along with fire intensity, fuel type, fire ignition...
The Mediterranean Forest Week will bring together policy and decision makers, forest administrators, researchers, practitioners, donors and social and environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to share and promote the use of forest-based solutions to assist Mediterranean countries in the implementation of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement on clim...
Publication date: 15 June 2019Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 442Author(s): M.N. Jiménez, F.B. Navarro, A. Sánchez-Miranda, M.A. RipollAbstractThinning is a forestry technique that can improve growth in the remaining trees and make them less vulnerable to water stress, buffering the imminent climatic changes. However, thinning effects have not been thoroughly explored using high-re...
The paper highlights opportunities for improving upstream strategic planning to meet adaptation, mitigation and biodiversity goals and the SDGs, particularly in low-income countries. It notes that focusing on low-carbon solutions has led to gaps in adaptation to existing climate impacts....
