Tree planting is both a promising and controversial solution to climate change biodiversity loss. However, this controversy largely theoretical because we lack detailed information of how tree proceeding on-the-ground. Here, compiled pantropical dataset 174 organizations determine the type involved in planting, their geographic locations approaches. We found that number have increased by 288% past 30 years, especially for-profit organizations. These reported nearly 1.4 billion trees across...

This study developed biomass models to calculate carbon stock levels of the West African oil palms (Elaeis guineensis) using multi-date wet and dry season IKONOS images. Two benchmark areas derived savanna eco-regions Africa were selected for analysis. Allometric equations related above-ground palm their stem heights. Empirical regression based on field plot data established determine (kg m−2) plantations in The best exponential, involving bands 3, 3 1, or 4, explaining between 63 72%...

Abstract We currently have the opportunity to restore one of most threatened tropical ecosystems on Pacific coast Panama as a consequence land use change. Factors that influence succession must be understood in order capitalize natural regeneration mechanisms. In this study, we determined effects exotic grass removal, cattle proximity forested riparian zones, and topography (upslope vs. downslope) initial stages forest from pasture dry region. After 3 years, basal area, stem density, species...

There is a gap in understanding the mitigation potential of protection commercial AR with different combinations forest plantation management wood utilization pathways.

Forests are vital components of the urban landscape because they provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, storm‐water mitigation, and air‐quality improvement. To enhance these services, cities investing in programs to create forests. A major unknown, however, is whether planted trees will grow into mature, closed‐canopied forest on which service provision depends. We assessed influence biotic abiotic land management tree performance part restoration New York City, U.S.A ....
