Low evapotranspiration enhances the resilience of peatland carbon stocks to fire
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1002/2017gl074186
Abstract: Boreal peatlands may be vulnerable to projected changes in the wildfire regime under future climates. Extreme drying during the sensitive post-fire period may exceed peatland ecohydrological resilience, triggering long-term degradation of these globally significant carbon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-019-00373-x
Abstract: AbstractSaltmarshes provide many valuable ecosystem services including storage of a large amount of ‘blue carbon’ within their soils. To date, up to 50% of the world’s saltmarshes have been lost or severely degraded primarily due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-018-1143-y
Abstract: Many studies highlight the role of mixed versus monospecific forests to supply numerous ecosystem services. Most reports of positive mixture effects on carbon storage focus on mixtures that combine tree species with contrasting traits, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10457-019-00470-9
Abstract: The use of agroforestry systems (AFS) for the recovery of degraded lands allows the diversification of biomass production and can increase the ecological, economic and social resilience of the restored areas. We evaluated a degraded… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11842-020-09439-4
Abstract: Agroforestry practices offer high potential of carbon (C) sequestration in developing countries. However, the roles of tropical agroforestry to mitigate climate change has only recently been recognized. Therefore, this case study was conducted to demonstrate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.catena.2017.06.014
Abstract: Abstract Studies on the quantities and distribution of soil organic carbon stocks (SOC-S) can help to fill the knowledge gaps in estimating the amount of carbon stored in soils. However, one of the problems of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.05.010
Abstract: Abstract This study adapts the Faustmann model (1849) to include the effects of carbon-based payments for environmental services on the optimal rotation length of forest plantations. We assume payments occur at the end of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118020
Abstract: Abstract Forest deadwood is a key indicator for biodiversity, disturbances and for carbon storage assessments. However, the role of Mediterranean forests in deadwood carbon storage is unclear. In this regard, the European Regulation 2018/841 on… read more here.
