Mapping the world's dry forests The extent of forest area in dryland habitats, which occupy more than 40% Earth's land surface, is uncertain compared with that other biomes. Bastin et al. provide a global estimate drylands, calculated from high-resolution satellite images covering 200,000 plots. Forests drylands are much extensive previously reported and cover total similar to tropical rainforests or boreal forests. This increases estimates by at least 9%, finding will be important...
Collect Earth is a free and open source software for land monitoring developed by the Food Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO). Built on Google desktop cloud computing technologies, facilitates access to multiple freely available archives satellite imagery, including with very high spatial resolution imagery (Google Earth, Bing Maps) those temporal (e.g., Engine, Engine Code Editor). Collectively, these offer an unparalleled amount information current past dynamics any location...
Abstract. A comprehensive assessment of policy impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural soils requires careful consideration both socio-economic aspects and the environmental heterogeneity landscape. We developed a modelling framework that links large-scale economic model for agriculture CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact assessment) with biogeochemistry DNDC (DeNitrification DeComposition) to simulate GHG fluxes, carbon stock changes nitrogen budget in...

Abstract. For the comprehensive assessment of policy impact on greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural soils both socio-economic aspects and environmental heterogeneity landscape are important factors that must be considered. We developed a modelling framework links large-scale economic model for agriculture CAPRI with bio-geochemistry DNDC to simulate fluxes, carbon stock changes nitrogen budget in Europe. The allows ex-ante simulation or agri-environmental impacts wide range problems...
High-quality data for REDD+ monitoring, measurement, and reporting are critical the continued success of implementation Results-Based Payments. Collect Earth is a free, user-friendly, open-source software land monitoring developed by Food Agriculture Organization United Nations (FAO). The tool allows countries to undertake easily rapidly through sample-based approach generate Activity Data (data on magnitude human activity resulting in emissions or removals during given period time)...
